Low brake fluid, this can be because its just low, or because ur pads are low

Yep, same as Red_SXi said.

Either low brake fluid which isn't hard to sort, check it first though, look to the side of the fluid resevoir there is a max and min level, you want it just below max.

If that doesn't sort it then it could well be low brake pads, because they may have worn down the sensor will think the handbrake is on because the pads have got smaller.
