Sorry if it's a daft q but does it come off when you touch the brake for the first time?

Seems to be the week for this!
Adjust the brake pull rod that goes across the car behind the heater box.

I've been getting this problem intermittently too.
Another question; When I start the car the dash flashes 'check', which goes out as soon as I press the brake pedal, is this normal??

This diagram shows the general layout: http://2009.bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/ ... ction_rod/
#11 is the rod to be adjusted - it has a left hand thread at one end and a right hand thread at the other, so turning it (by the flats near the RH end) adjusts its length.
#6 is behind the RH side of the glovebox area, and #15 is behind, and connected to, the top of the brake pedal.
There are two locknuts shown in the diagram, that need to be loosened before the rod can be turned, but only one may be fitted.
Adjust the rod so that the brake pedal is nearly up as far as it can be lifted.
