I bleed my brakes again today and now I have the red exclamation mark on all the time.

To me that means the hand brake is pulled up but it's now. Does it mean something else? I was doing some sliding also :o:

I thought that was a seperate light, a circle with dashed brackets around it to indicate brake lineings/pads?

The red light with the exclamation mark is for low fluid level in the resevoir. Nothing to do with handbrakes or pad wear.

ALso the brake fluid was low so I topped it up (more on that later)

No!! Brake fluid level.
Low coolant light is in the panel in the roof.
