Recently Ive had the brake warning light come on (the one that comes on when you apply the handbrake ( ! ) ) Now this usually indicates a low fluid level, but I have checked this and the level is fine. Also, if I turn the engine off and back on again, it disappears. Which just adds to the confusion?! I did have a though that its maybe the pad wear sensor wiring playing up, as when I fitted the pads I did away with the wires on the pads. Maybe the loom is being a dick? And does anyone actually know which light on the dash the pad level warning brings on? Or does anyone else know what brings on the ( ! ) light? Dicky handbrake switch?
Answers on a postcard, or this thread (would be more helpful in this thread)

In my sigma pad wear level has its own light, it came on once and didnt know what it was and had to resort to the handbook!
