low brake-fluid...

check it & top it up if needed. Also just check the rear drums if there leaking, the rear cylinders can give after a while!

Worn brake pads.

Pads go down, calipers have to push further out, hence loss of brake fluid in the bottle.

Check pads, replace, then top up fluid if still low.

Does it not worry you that your brake warning light doesnt go off? Youll probs have no fluid, hence no brakes, hence no car and no life!

Is fluid topped all the way to max tho... The gsi did that when i bought it an when u look it looks like loads of fluid, but jus adding wee bit extra to fill it up did the trick...
