brakes

[paulp]

hi all
What causes the handbrake light on the dashboard to come on and a buzzer to sound when the brake pedal is pushed.
The master cylider is full and there are no visible leaks.
Help please

Not sure on the imports but could it be a pad wear warning?

hi all

Thanks for the replies.

It was low brake pads.

The buzzer was a low vacuum warning.

I have another garage to recommend.

Details to follow

hi all

Apparently the buzzer was coming on because the brakes were being pumped to check the wheel cylinders and hoses.
This action coupled with excessive pedal travel was using the vacuum

Regards and thanks
