ok ive just been to pic my sister up from the train station and this little problem has started to occur:-

every time i go round a right hand corner the handbrake light come on only for 3 seconds but i dont know wat it is, and also the breaks are starting to sound very dodgy, like metal grinding against metal,

i know some 1 is gonna say check ur breaks or u need new pads or somin but its half 1 in the morn and i cant really see anything

Thats been happening with my handbrake light too!! EXACTLY the same!

Took it to Vaux, said they couldnt find anything, said brake pads were fine, fluid level was fine etc.

Went home and it started happening again...took it back, and it was a fault with the wiring behind the dash...dont know the exact problem though. Something for you to have a look at at least!

Hope this helps.

metal on metal is worn pads, and if you havent topped up your break fluid then that is what is causing the brake warning light to come on. take off the front wheels and you will probably find the pad is about a thick as a rizla.
