probably a system error if the fluid level is ok, but it's also possible that there is a problem with the fluid transport....

Thanks for input guys- i understand reasons for fluid replacement, hydroscopic, protect ABS pump from corrosion and all that but my beef is if i have to keep running backwards and forwards to my dealer every few weeks cos some new service light has come on - i can see brake pads next- i am going to get pretty
pi**** off

[/quote]I'm in a similar situation... 'Oil' Service is due now but it looks like other things (e.g. brake fluid/air-con filter/pads) are going to be due in the next 1-3 months... I'm going to ring my dealer this afternoon and see what they're prepared to do together to avoid 'trips'...
