There's a How To Guide for that, it's always worth having a look through when faced with a problem, it's my first port of call.

How to: From David A.
Remember it's also low fluid warning!!

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

thanks, I have seen it, I will investigate it tomorrow, I think it just wants adjusting so one will just have to get the spanners out and have a bash at it,:broon:

When the handbrake light starts flashing over bumps, it is usually the first sign that the handbrake mechanism on the rear calipers is starting to stick, and not allowing the handbrake lever to fully move back down.

Check this first before making adjustments to the switch, as it is an early warning that the calipers need looking at, before they get too bad.
