#1: handdbrake light...again Author: SarahW, Location: SunderlandPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:09 am ---- Recently posted about my handbrake light flickering all the time, appeared to just be brake fluid however its just started doing it again and I only filled it up a few weeks back?
#2: Re: handdbrake light...again Author: anthony_839, Location: romfordPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:11 am ---- check it isnt low.... if it is then you have a leak
#3: Re: handdbrake light...again Author: dturbopeck, Location: newcastle upon tynePosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:15 am ---- youve probly got a leaky rear brake cylinder, or a leaking brake pipe, best get it checked out.
#4: Re: handdbrake light...again Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:15 am ---- yeah usaully happens when brake fluid really is low ,better check for leaks or take it to a garage
#5: Re: handdbrake light...again Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:20 am ---- could be anything else if it isnt the brake fluid. Handbrake switch or even low brake pads I believe for that matter.

#9: Re: handdbrake light...again Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 1:14 pm ---- Just the 1 replacement cylinder?
Its always a good idea to do them in pairs, if ones leaking the other wont be far behind

#12: Re: handdbrake light...again Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 1:21 pm ---- if it is pads, you might aswell get the discs done too whilst its all apart.
i paid 45 for fitting of both + parts(around45-50)
#13: Re: handdbrake light...again Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 1:23 pm ---- Id be tempted to swop the handbrake switch for the glovebox one as there has been no mention of the STOP light coming on as well.
