danny1987 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yesterday the big red warning light, which is in the centre of the rev counter came on while i was driving, it stayed on for a bit then went off. Has anyone else had this happen to them and what does it mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolai Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Check your brakes mate. Happens if the brake fluid is to low. Or your brakes pads are at their ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike3.0 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Check the doors are shut correctly. Seriously. I had the same thing happen to me a few times, turned out the Mrs is a wimp and never shut the door hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatB Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yeah try brake fluid level. It might not look low but when you take the top off the fluid reservoir it will seem lower. Found out when my car failed its mot why it was losing fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Break fluid or check oil level (can go low on an incline or such then go out). Brake light failures I have found keep the middle warning light on and the (!) brake light on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Break fluid or check oil level (can go low on an incline or such then go out). The orange oil level warning light should come on also if it was that. If it come on under braking then probably brake fluid level as said. If it comes on at a certain speed, then it could be speedo convertor or front auto spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 my guess is brake fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 The orange oil level warning light should come on also if it was that. OP re the above you really need to check what warnings lights top left AND right (the usual probelm area) of the dash actually light up when you turn the ignition on.
