Hello
I have 5yr old 145 cloverleaf, 48k, and recently when I accelerate and more recently when I brake the handbrake light comes on.....any thoughts what this could be?? The handbrake is definately not engaged.
Also, at very low speed if I turn wheel slightly to left and slightly to right (not full lock) I get what a clunky noise - not very technical but can't think how else to describe!
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Ben

Is the handbrake light also a warning of low brake fluid? It is on my Vectra. If brake fluid level has dropped a little you could be displacing the liquid when you accelerate / brake and jiggling the float.

Sounds about right DD. Try topping it up and see if that helps. Also, you could try www.alfaowner.com and ask there, lots of good advice (usually!)

If a brake warning light is coming on while driving, take it very seriously indeed. It happened last month on my old Capri just after it had passed its MOT: a cylinder on the offside rear wheel had failed. I'm glad it happened close to home.

Many thanks for your advices.
