The shoes need checking in case they where damaged when the cylinders leaked, make sure the friction material isn't coming unstuck.
Its always advisable to replace brake shoes when leaking brake cylinders are replaced. |
Very true!.........the brake shoes should always be renewed if they've been soaked in brake fluid

had her out properly today, light seems to stay on for a while now and again but then go off, tends to flicker and come on when turning sharp corners, hitting pot holes and braking but not stayin on for as long as it was first time...

Did you check the brake fluid level? (as previously suggested)
