On way back to work one of the warning lights pinged on. :cry: :cry: I've taken a picy on my phone but got to work out how to post it... :?

It's looks similar to the handbreak light but it has two broken half circles surrounding the main inner circle.. Any ideas as I dont have my user manual with me ?? :poke:

Brake pad low warning light, 9 times out of 10 it's a false warning...

Loose connection behind the dash often makes them flicker on and off.

Suppose you had better check the brake linings just in case...

Dunno - Dam freebie cars !!!!

All I know is BMW chap came along and seemed to think it was the fuel Relay (never heard of one of them and neither have the boys and girls at GSF.)

I'll pop down the pub and chat with the land lord tonight as he's the one who gave it me and see if I can find out more..

Might even have a pint !! All in the name of the 6 pot E30 of course !!!
