Title: Hand brake light
Post by: Jezza-7 on November 15, 2009, 10:13:36 PM
This came on while driving on friday.

Flickers on and off then started to stay on permantly.

Any ideas on what it could be?

The switch is probably loose or badly worn. Easy enough to find under the hand brake lever.

Yeah very true, but it could of been me looking at what i thought was the level when really it was an oil mark and the oil was lower which i think it was, well i hope it was. Never had any leaks coming from anywhere but will keep an eye out.

check for signs of the rear cylinders leaking around the backs of the drums and the bottom of the drums.
