Dear All
Looking for a recommended independant Toyota or brake specilaist in Bournemouth / Soton area. Any tips appreciated.
This is the problem/question I sent in:
Had to pull up sharpish yesterday in my 2000 Hiace van after a dodderer pulled out, brakes felt rubbish and only just stopped in time. Afterwards they seem to go back to normal but the brake warning light has been flickering on and off occasionally since then. Took to local independant garage today who checked the fluid, pads, shoes, handbrake switch, - all good, right level and all working fine, but the light still comes on occasionally which worries me particularly after the poor braking incident. P135 of the owners handbook refers to the tandem master cylinder where if either sub-system fails, you get the sympton I described plus the brake warning light comes on. Perhaps it's this but the garage tells me the brakes are fine it could be a wiring fault (not convinced) - I have searched google for something similar but to no avail so any tips on why it's doing this or where I could find out would be really appreciated, cheers Louis
