its ur pads down m8 check them and check the wires

 

[basemanuk]

humm two different answers!!
in the manual the symbol for the pads is different! as i said its the warning light i.e the circle with the ! in it is flashing! will check pads and coolant and brake fluid just in case!
if anyone else has any suggestion the please do tell

 

[speedinsaxo]

It all depends on what light / symbol is flashing... it sounds like the coolant level light - but you talk about brakes after looking at the manual...??

Tell us what light and we will tell you the problem. Or do a search....

if the red light is next to the temp gauge then its ya coolant level.

sorry i diddent realise that the part where i say WARNING LIGHT THE ONE WITH THE CIRCLE WITH THE ! (EXCLAMATION MARK) IN IT is not explaing which light it is!

There is more than one warning light, there's a whole panel of them. Circle with exclamation mark could be the handbrake/brake fluid level light (middle, top row) or the TCS/ESP light (middle, bottom row).

The pad wear sensor lights its own individual warning light, fourth along, middle row, and beeps once when you turn the ignition on.

Three beeps is usually associated with the coolant level sensor - either coolant is too low or the prongs in the header tank have coked up.

think its the brake fluid level had a check and its a little bit low but not loads! as soon as i undone the lide the warning light beeped at me again! does it just take any brake fluid!
will top it up tomoz

brake fluid level... not pads, pads is yellow light with circle and 3 lines either side.

top your brake fluid level up and it will go away.

brake fluid is dot4.

As above will prob be your brake fluid, post up a pic and make it easier for us to help you.

 

[basemanuk]

going to top the fluid up to day! as i said its the warning light in the ceter it is a circle with a (!) i think its the same light that comes on when the handbrake is on!

 

[james walker]

thatl be the one then mate... by any chance does it mainly come on when you go round corners?

 

[basemanuk]

toped up the brake fluid and kazaaaaaam the beeping and light flashing went away! answer to above qustion though is it used to come on when accelerating or hard braking!

did you not check this at the start.? when the light come on

 

[james walker]

the fluid level usually looks okay visually. only needs a slight drop past the sensor to set it off.

 

[wayne lcr]

well if its using fluid then theres a leak sum were?

 

[james walker]

brake fluid evaporates..... so you will use the fluid

not neccesarily a leak.
