K9d 108 Report post Posted October 29, 2012 As per the title, my handbrake light is staying on, it dims when I release the handbrake but doesn't go out. I've taken of the cover and had a look at the switch it looks OK, is this problem a sign of issues else where or just a duff switch ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anjenha 44 Report post Posted October 29, 2012 If you are leaking fluid check the clutch and brake lines for evidence This will tell you where it's coming from Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9d 108 Report post Posted October 29, 2012 Spot on, thank you. It was probably low because of having new pads fitted on the rear and them bedding in, I will keep an eye on it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted October 29, 2012 Check the front right wheel arch brake pipework, otherwise it may be the brakelines which pass over the fuel tank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9d 108 Report post Posted November 11, 2012 The fluid loss is due to a leaky rear calliper on the passenger side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9d 108 Report post Posted November 11, 2012 Work out pads too? Is that mean't to say "worn out" ? If so the answer is no because there almost new, you fitted them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted November 12, 2012 Odd, so where is it leaking from exactly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9d 108 Report post Posted November 12, 2012 Don't know, it was part of the MOT fail so I haven't seen it myself. Fortunately the knackered upper wish bone passenger side is one that they changed last year so that is getting replaced for no charge, their parts supplier was getting a rocket as I left there today.
