RedM Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm pretty sure Ian C will point me here but I'm looking for reassurance. Had some work done on the car twice this week. Both times had the rear brake fluid pipe removed. Had it bled before refitting. Driving home tonight from mechanics the two red triangles came on and off at seemingly random moments. Hills and hard braking and acceleration etc. The old brake fluid level chestnut again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 It does seem overly sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 what else lights up with the triangle in the rev counter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Nothing! I get the main triangle and the little one over to the right. Normally only ever see these when the handbrake is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 That's what we think, me and my new favourite mechanic. Done nothing to the car that would cause a light to come on except for removing the brake fluid cable and bleeding it afterward. It seems like too much of a coincidence for it to be a new problem right after that. Nipping back for a top-up tomorrow in my squeak free car.

RedM Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Ooo ooo tell me more! That would be Peter at Sbits in Barnsley. All thanks to a tip-off from some antisocial old git plus some excellent recommendations on the MR2 owners club forum. Speaking of MR2s, I saw a few them and well, aren't they cute and dinky? I might get one to put on my desk at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
