Hi, u may have seen my silly posts before for being lazy , but this time i got a serious prob..

Braking..

Brakes are fine, and stop when needed to.. although they r a bit spongy tbh on first touch... the red brake fault appears around corners, meaning fault/b fluid..

I checked the fluid, its to the top.. no problems... handbrake is down all the time.. no idea on the sponginess... and i had this prob since i bought it, but just getting more severe and less safe tbh..

Any ideas on whats the problem?

if your front pads a low the red handbrake light will show cause the fluid level drops when going round corners
