Yes because it is (!) instead of (P) - P for parking brake! The (!) is a warning of low fluid level which being right on MIN or maybe even lower (difficult to tell from the camera angle) is enough to trigger the float contacts. 1 hour ago, LeedsMatt said: Brake pedal doesn't feel odd at all. It won't yet, chances are the rear brakes have adjusted themselves recently and the reservoir is accordingly lower. If the brake pedal was feeling odd before the warning light came on, it would already be too late! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick tip, once the brake lamp warning light comes on 💡 the system sometimes needs to cycle 🙃 basically change the bulb the turn on ignition and if the brake lamp warning light is still illuminated start the engine and press the brake pedal and if all is well the warning light should go out, just leaving the handbrake/ fluid light on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Subscriber’s LeedsMatt Posted June 9, 2021 Author Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Brake light bulb changed and tail light warning light has gone out but brake warning light is still on. See video as my last photo must have been misleading cos there is plenty of brake fluid in there. 🤔 https://youtube.com/shorts/vPjM7t4k0is?feature=share 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Subscriber’s LeedsMatt Posted June 9, 2021 Author Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Ok I'm an absolute idiot and I hadn't released the handbrake after I was checking the warning lights after replacing the bulb. So yeah it's fine now. It's been a long week, I'm not this daft normally 😂😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Subscriber’s LeedsMatt Posted March 9, 2022 Author Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Over the last couple of weeks my car has started sounding a bit rough, kinda rattly when started from cold. It seems to get better once the engine is warmed up. Oil level is fine, I'm having it serviced tomorrow. I know I'm not giving much to go on (as you know I'm far from an expert with this stuff haha). Should I ask the guy to check anything that might be going wrong etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted March 9, 2022 Administrators Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Sorry to hear of the recent niggle, when you say rattle I assume a metallic noise 🤔 if so could be a heat shield as this would be less audible when warm? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear this Matt, if there was a serious enough leak on the system the machine wouldn't have refilled it. However, I have experienced this issue before with the condenser leaking when pressurised. So I would check that for moist patches or anything on the system that looks obvious as leaking as I can't imagine aluminium surface oxidization on pipes being the issue? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a wet patch under the car (behind the offside front tyre) I thought it was a slow oil leak that's been highlighted before but could be this? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very likely just the water from the condensate drain line, perfectly normal to see water on the floor unless it's not water? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s LeedsMatt Posted September 2, 2022 Author Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 The patch hasn't dried up over a few days now so I don't think it's just water. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say this is to related engine oil or one of the power steering lines has a small leak as the lines run along the subframe. The A.C leaks will be more visible in the engine bay area and refrigerant won't drip on the floor, it generally pools around the area of the leak as it's a gas. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
