Exclamation Need help in Blackpool with a Corsa for a colleague

I have a colleague who is based at the blackpool office who knows nothing about cars. She has the warning light coming on from her brakes. Does anyone know what dot fluid she needs and is anyone available do the top up for her. (Don't ask she's blonde) added to that I have just asked her if she has the handbook for the car to see if I could find the fluid reservoir for her, and got the reply what hadndbook and whats a brake reservoir!!!

Cheers
Simon

Simon,
Being that Brake Fluid does "Just" evaporate It would be wise for her to get it checked not just topped up. You wouldn't like her to go 400 yds down the road a lose the brakes .

She may just find the Level is OK and the Float switch is Faulty or Stuck and a tap on the reservior may cure it. Not sure on a Corsa if there is 'Low Brake' pad warning

Or as she is blonde, may still have the handbrake on LOL

Sorry at wrong end of country to help !!!

Cheers guys, I have managed to get her sorted, from what she has said, it sounds like the float was stuck. The car is now booked into the garage tomorrow, but at least she can get home.

Cheers guys for your replies.
Simon
