Just done all my brake discs and pads, and just today the handbrake light started flickering when driving, and now is stuck on! Ive had a look at a few other topics about this, one mentioned brake fluid, which is ok on mine, and one mentioned handbrake sensor, does anybody know where the sensor is? Handbrake failed MOT, not pulling the full 16% on test, but then passed on retest at 20%. Will tightening the cables so that it only takes a few clicks cure this, as at the moment it takes 6!

The sensor is underneath the lever under the plastic cover, little button which presses down when the lever is down

Just checked the brake fluid again, and I must have been pi$$ed last time, its on "min" whoooops! Will fill it see if it cures, thanks for the tip about the sensor though!!

I was going to say, if it flickered before staying on it sounds a lot like your fluid level.

If the brake fluid was low then the STOP warning light should have been coming on at the same time as well.

I dont think it was that critically low, was on around the "min" level.
