When setting off the other day the hand brake was slightly on, the display warned me the brake fluid level was low. Now the car has the correct sentiment but it isnt low.
I have not changed the electircs from standard apart from swapping out the radio to a sony and using a stalk adapter. The car now does that beeping thing which i think is remedied by Peugeot planet. Anyone have any ideas about the duff message?
Brake fluid low?

yes i figure it is the handbrake switch on, when the handbrake is fully off it doesnt happen. My point is surely it should warn Handbrake on rather than brake fluid low?

No mistake mate phone Peugeot with your reg and ask to order a handbrake sensor.pigboy306 wrote:Only $4???? Surely a mistake!

It looks like this one for a 106 and this one claims to work on other models such as 406.
