Handbrake light comes on
Hi i have a Corsa LS 94 3 door.
Every so often when i corner, go round roundabouts or slow down my handbrake light comes on?
Any ideas why?
Thanks

Best way to check give the resevoir a little wiggle it should move the fluid enough to see
If it ain't green and black send it back

Now you need to find out where the fluid went, it shouldn't use any.
