Low fluid or worn pads etc ?

[Terran-Ender]

Its not low fluid.

i have not looked at my pads yet.

do they have pad sensors ?

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

I think they may, but not sure.

Hopefully someone who knows will be on soon.

Gotta love those moments. had a few in my last vehicle... i did not see the ditch in the middle of the road

the pads have audible wear thingys on them, make a $$$$$$ awful noise. check the float in the brake fluid reservior. my missus has just driven off in mine so i cant check to see what sets the light off on the fluid pot.

[Terran-Ender]

that how i figured the brake worked, err all the other car i have seen do that.

i will look that the fluid thing
