i just had this fixed on my car - check brake fluid, front pads, back shoes and brake cylinders

In my case it was the cylinders but worth checking everything else too

when the brake fluid is low it normally means the pads are getting to the end of their life. so check them before topping up the fluid

fair enough well it hasnt been topped up since the new discs, calipers and pads etc were fitted so i suppose if its all gone through the system it may need a bit of fluid..
