Another quick(ish) check is to unscrew the cap on the clutch/brake reservoir and lift it up so that the float drops, this will complete the circuit through the bulb to earth.


There should be a tiny button on top of the cap to push that does that without having to take the cap off. Well, there is one mine. Test it every time you check your brake fluid- Could be a live (or at least van!) saver!!


when i push the button all the way down - the handbrake light comes on! - however - thats the only time it does come on.. not sure what that tells me and where to look next...
