Brake pads need replacing once you have new pads on if it still lights up then you need to top brake fluid up

it actually was the barke fluid level...
both the bleed nipples were tight, as were the bolts holding the pipes to the calipers, but its lost fluid somehow?

Rear brake cylinders might be leaking, or wasnt topped up enough when the new brakes were fitted.
