my handbrake warning light keeps coming on every time I go round a round about and some corners, I thought this was because my brake fluid was low so I went to halfords, bought a top-up bottol, got holme, went to put it in and its full anywaze! On the bottol it says it needs replacing every 2 years, could this be the reason? If so should I bleed it myself and get some more brake fluid, or take it down to a garage who actiually know what theyre doing?

Brake pads are very easy to fit... with the help of a Haynes Manual and some copper grease Just take your time and go careful and you should have no problems
