K10 issue

[Kyle]

When i go round corners the hand-brake light comes on, then goes off, when im out of the corner....anyone got any ideas what the problem is?

It means your brake fluid is low.

Top it up with some DOT4 brake fluid

Check after a couple of months that theres still plenty in as you may have a leak (this was the case with my K10).

cheers mate worked a treat, just did a road test

Is the DOT 4 stuff the same fluid for power steering or is it different stuff?

CHECK YOUR BRAKE PADS

The fluid drops when the pads are extremely worn, and the light comes on. When new pads are fitted, the fluid resumes to normal level. The fluid only really needs topping up if theres a leak

 

[RIK]

correct!

check em matey

 

[Kyle]

pads on front and shoes on rear.....check both?

 

[Arnold]

I'd check the fronts. They take alot more grief than the rears
