Brake Warning Light

Smudge uttered summat worrerz funny about:

Is it the pads with sensors? If so check the wire hasn't chaffed through and earthed somewhere.

Brake light on your 110 is switched by switch on pressure differential valve which is mounted on the drivers footwell - four brake pipes going into it and the switch wires. Electrically there is a wire coming from the key start to a relay to the switch to the warning light. The switch should operate if you lose one half of your brakes, I've had it come on before when I lost pressure in front brakes and hit the brake pedal - frenzied pumping later moved the valve to close off the front and put all pressure to the back.

Check to make sure your back brakes are doing what they should if your brakes are still OK. Front brakes alone can stop well by themselves if up to scratch like yours sound like.

adjust the snail cams on the rear drums as per manual. the rear shoes are moving further than they should thus activating the pressure differential thingy.

For once an easy fault to rectify. Switch connector on bottom of PDV thingy had filled with water, hence the warning light. Dried it all out and light comes on when cranking as its supposed to, and then goes out. Phew! Wallet breathes a sigh of relief...
