Hey guys, I have been having this warning come up for the past 3 or so months now. It is the "Brake fluid low" messege and also the handbrake symbol. they come up in together almost every time i apply the brakes. however, my brake fluid is full and has been checked by a few mechanics. Any suggestions or tips to get rid of this would be fantastic!!

Geoff, try OVER FILLING the master cyl a bit.
Has been proven to work on many occasions.
Essentially it's caused by a faulty/leaking float unit in the m/cyl reservoir, and by topping up the fluid OVER the normal full mark it fools the sender into thinking that all's well in the land of Soarer.
