I've recently changed discs and pads and now the brake warning light is constantly on. Is this due to the new brakes or faulty wire? How can it be sorted as I'm selling car very soon.

Check that you have sufficient fluid in the brake reservoir. Also check that the little float hasn't become stuck.

Cheers for the quick response. Ill check that tomorrow during my lunch break!

Had this once before on my 95WRX. Just opened the top of the resevoir, proded the float then put the cap back on, was fine after that!

Tomorrow!!!!! I bloody hope your not going to be driving it in the mean time! It takes two minutes to check the fluid, open the bonnet and look you lazy sod!

Look, that message was sent at about 21:50ish. By this time I was completely and utterly p***ed and I would have probably tried putting my finger down the oil hole!!! I even had to get my mate to type for me! (Cheers Dave!) Ill have a look at it when I get home from work tonight. (Don't worry, I didnt drive to work!!!)
Cheers guys

Have you checked the switch on the handbrake lever?

If the brake fluid level is low, check your brake pads, the more worn the pads, the more brake fluid in the pistons behind them, hence the drop in level.

Did you get to the bottom of the problem?

Twohot

Yeah cheers guys... it was down to the fluid after all! It was just under the sensor!
Thanks again, and if anyone wants a Subaru Sport then come to me!!!
