dash stop light - oil and brake lights too

[keys84]

hey peeps
for the last few days i have had warning lights
i cant decifer what they mean cos i havn't got a manual
the stop, oil pressure and handbrake light all come on at the same time
then go out nearly straight away
i guess ive got some bare wires somewhere
but really dont have a clue where to start

all my levels are good and its just flown through an mot
its a 96 d8 1.8 16v lx _ in a lovely-horrible sort of mauve red tired looking paint

any ideas freom anybody would be great
thanks in advance

I presume you're not talking about the first few seconds after you turn the key? Does the engine show any symptoms - even for a split second - before this happens? I'm wondering if your ignition barrel's a bit iffy and causing a short cut-out which'll throw those lights up, just like you see when you start the car

yeah that could well be the case
ive recently just had the starter solenoid go
so could be.....but....
wouldn't i also see the engine management light
or is that a different circuit/system???
there is also one other that comes on at start but not with the fault
but at this time of night the word escapes me
