Question

Would this light flash if my rear pads were low? Had them checked at power engineering recently still had 30% left and 50% fronts. Is there a sensor in the pads when they get low?. Graham.

You'll know when your brake pads are low . They'll make a VERY LOUD squealing noise . There is a piece of metal sticking out from the pad towards the disc and when the pad has 2-3 mm left the piece of metal rubs against the disc producing the noise . You either have to change the pads or put on some iron maiden on the cd player .
