as fizz said welcome to the club mate......not the same car but had the same problem......

possible quick fix....spray a little WD40 under the bottom of the handbrake roughly were the switch should be.........

worked for me

The handbrake light in my car also tells me 'fluid low or pads low' can't remember which but it is DEFINATELY a dual light.

welcome to the site matey!

I had a gen 4 for the last 7 years - great car..

if the light goes out once you have started the car and then comes on when you apply the foot brake for the first time and stays on, it means that your brake light bulb is out at the rear! great idea from the !Removed!

hope this helps

:P

won't be your pads matey as there are no wires going to them

you can always tell when your pads are low as you get an awful swealing noise from your brakes as the limit shims rub on the discs

mkinder you are right!!!!!!found out the other day that my rear right bulb had gone ,replaced it and all is well....thanks all for all your help!!!!
