![]() OK, The Brake Pad Low warning light came on, which was strange as they had not long been replaced.
Removed both Off side wheels and checked the pads,, More than 75% still there. Checked the sensor's.and they were well clear of contacting the discs. so what would be a possible cause of the warning light coming on. I have cleaned both sensors, pads and callipers and they all seem OK ![]()
