Brake system sensors

[rasheed]

As of this morning I'm getting an intermittent red handbrake light and a message centre warning about low brake fluid. Visual check indicates fluid level is fine and there weren't any puddles on floor. Other than perhaps a problem with the sensor itself that's on the reservoir, any ideas what it might be? I'm guessing that's a fluid level sensor by the way or does the system only check pressure and deduce low pressure = low fluid? Cos if that's the case I'm gonna have to get dirty again.....

No there is a level sensor in the tank. Make sure the level is above minimum after the ABS pump has run, not when engine is switched off.

Crikey did you go out and build yourself a plane?? Not enough spanners-and-grease going on for you with your rangey?

Yeah built it a few years ago. Sold now no licence anymore. Bought the drawings from the states. Made the tooling from the drawings then the parts from the tooling. Took five years to build. Even made the canopy in the sprayshop oven over a mould. Apart from the engine which i converted from a VW and the instruments made every part. Quite a job but it was fun at the time.

Well done mate. Now I've this bloody cupboard from Ikea that I can't seem to get the doors on straight. If you wouldn't mind dropping by...?

Sounds a bit to complicated for me to tackle.
