Taylor Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 my warning light keeps coming on at random intervals staying on for a few seconds and then going off again. i have done the paperclip trick to check for error codes and all that happens is the llittle engine symbol keeps blinking at a steady rate. so this means no codes? any ideas what the problem could be?

Taylor Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 reading up a bit more i think it might be fluid/ brake pads even tho both look o.k. how much am i looking at for a new set of pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguyen Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 i had this... topped up the brake fluid a little seems to have done the trick... even if it looks full put a bit more in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Brake fluid. Top it up to above the max mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The fluid reservoir on a jspec is very spall, esepcially if you have UK brakes on there. YOu do need to top it up 1-2 times a pas cycle. __________________ Regards Martin James aka Lucifer http://www.mkivstore.com/mkivsig.jpg MKivStore Dyno shootout and openday - Click here FREE FOOD - FREE Photoshoot - Free car wash - Free stuff JULY 9TH - EUROPE's LARGEST SUPRA MEET OF 2006 Call us 10AM - 10PM for Advice and parts orders - 08456 44 91 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I have the forum on as basic as I think is possible. In order to make it less obvious what I am doing whilst supposedly working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 topped up the fluid and all is well. my garage says i could do with new rear pads aprox 50 fitted. how does that sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Sounds very cheap, Not genuine pads there I suspect. Make sure they service teh calipers as tehy usually need it... well teh sliders anywya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 he did that today, took the breaks apart and cleaned them all up, that why he advised rear pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 yeh i suppose, altho summat like 80% of braking is done by the front so i bet rears dont make a lot a difference whatever ya have on, prob get a good set for front when the time comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
