Another niggly little problem.
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

Low fluid level or hand brake switch?

The red warning for brake fluid and handbrake is separate from the yellow brake pad wear circuit. Simon

Quite often it is the rear sensor plug unplug it and bridge the main loom side wires together ignition on and see if the light goes out

Excellent, thanks for posting a successful diagnosis John.
Just a little reminder to be careful not to lose the little metal clip when you remove the current sensor from the brake pad. Simon
