Re: what does this light mean

Im pretty sure it means your brake lines i.e the sensor on your brakes has come on to say your brakes are worn and need changing.

I currently have a modified 2.7with a sports 3.91 diff. I have been advised that an e30 m3 diff will in fact work better. Is this true and how will each diff affect the way the car accelerates etc? :mad:
