handbrake could be fucked aswell

[stalkah66]

Do they both come on at the same time?

I take it you have checked the oil levels?

Naa theres nothing wrong with handbrake because they both light up together

if it is handbrake light it could be low brake fluid.

Its only got 36k on it and both lights cum on together and go off together cept there staying on near enough all the time now also i dont have the money to take it into a garage to get sorted

Where abouts are you located?

I would have a check of the oil levels never assume because it was only done 3 weeks ago its ok.

I had a car service by a garage once and they didnt do the oil filter up luckily i spotted the oil drops on my drive otherwise it would have come off on the m5!

you have put in another thread this has happened as a result of doing handbrake turns, which means your handbrake cable is probably stretched and knackered. that will explain the handbrake light

if you say your engine bay got wet it couldnt have soaked any of the electrics could it????

[MaRiO89]

Just because the engine has done 36k it doesnt mean the engine wont be losing oil pressure, it may have been ragged from cold all its life etc and therefore could have knackered bearings..

Also it may have been starved of oil at some point or may have run too low causing damage internally..

wel i just took it 2 the garage n thy said it could be that water has got to the sensors and there showing a false read because of the water also the brake fluid light comes on at the same time n i think its 2 coincidental for both
