[earl8209]

hi guys and girls , im new to this site so please bear with me.. i have a question in relate to my berlingo multispace petrol the hand break and stop came on and kept going off etc some one said check the break fluid which i did the level was a little low so i topped it up. .the lights went off for a week but now they are back on and wont go off. ive checked the break fluid again to see if i have a leak and it all seems fine. any ideas what else could be causing this. many thanks louise.x

Your rear brake cylinder is leaking. Check the right one as it's normally that one. If you can't inspect the problem yourself there is still a way to visually look on the outside. Get a flash light and get under there. See if there is any oil drip on the inside of the wheels, tyre and possibly pavement, especially after it has been parked over night.
