This light in the dash console (BRAKE) keeps coming on for a split second or so, is it telling me its time for pads / discs or the fluid is low/ something else. TIA, Hazzo

Just replaced my pads at the weekend, there aren't any sensors on the pads to indicate that they are low. One thing I did notice was, if the reservoir (as already mentioned) isn't topped up to the max line the brake warning light did illuminate.'Tis better to sting than to be stung!

Check the float isn't sticking. By how much is the reservoir low? If it's only a gnat's, they may just not have bled the system correctly when they replaced the pipes. Top it up and see how it goes. It only needs to be a fraction down on full for that light to start kicking in.

Thanks lads the level is on the min line of the cylinder and I reckon pads need doing, the H/brake cable is fine and the lever is fully in, I know the level drops as pads wear so will replace rather than top up as you end up with it overflowing after pads are replaced, will order a set. cheers, H

Got my pads from Roughtrax, next day delivery, for £26.00. Local factors were £23.00, but that was for a 4 Runner. I've been told (by the experts on here) that they are the same, but just wanted to be extra cautious, you can't mess around with brakes!'Tis better to sting than to be stung!
