Ok people with all the knowledge , My handbrake light stays on all the time, but saying that after a drive and if you switch of the engine then put it back on again sometimes it will go off. But as soon as you put the handbrake back on the light will stay on again.

What will I need to do to get this annoying light to stay off ??

Ok never thought it would be a brake bulb out , that would cause the handbrake light to stay on.

I just checked and I have a blown brake bulb.

Mrs Moley had the car today and see was worried sick driving it with the light on the dash.
Just away to change the bulb and see if that sorts it .
Thanks guys !!

Dean the red light is not just a handbrake light it is also a lamp failure warning and a low brake fluid level warning
