rwilkinson 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 In the last week, the light on the dash that comes on when the handbrake is on lights up under hard accelleration. has anyone else had this and is the light a warning for anything else? It all started after i was testing 0-60 and 1/4 mile times with a performance tester - should've known better!! got 7.3 to 60 and 15.8 for a 1/4 mile with my mate in the car and all the stereo stuff in the boot. not too bad for a standard car thats over 10 years old? Any help would be much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 first and foremost, check the brake fluid level! if its slightly low then harsh acceleration will make the level rise and fall dramatically with the cars movement! if the level is low or on the limit, it will make the light flash on and off!
