You're driving with your Handbrake on ??? - check to see if it's adjusted properly - that's a shocker mate !!!

... and please use punctuation - I had to read that 5 times to get it right

On topic... i have a similar problem, when i accelerate hard from stationary then back off when i hit about 80km i get an error msg for a second saying "brake fluid level".
Is this also the brake booster telling me it's retiring?
Cheers... & sorry for the hijack Phillip.

Heath, just top up your master cylinder to just over the full line. Common issue.
