Evening all.
Have the R-reg 1.4 corsa Sport.
Recently, everytime i turn a resonably sharp corner, the handbrake light illuminates but when straightened out then, goes out.
Anything to be worried about?
FYI: Had new front discs and calipers and pads on monday.
Cheers all

It will be the brake fluid low, It tells you what kind to use on the cap of the reservoir

Worth keeping an eye on it for a while, might have just been slightly low. If you start seeing the light again soon then start looking for leaks.
