got this message up on the dash tonight but all the brake pads seem fine at least 10mm left on the all so a ((!)) symbol lit up, any ideas could it be a knackered / faulty pad sensor, thanks

Check the conections on the pad sensors,try unplugging then plugging them back in, they are front left and rear right.

this came up for me last summer when i broke one of the sensor wires going over bumps. From memory, the 2 sensors are NSF and OSR.

cheers will check it out

^^^^^^ doh, I should really fully read what you've written before repeating things!!^^^^^^^

Also the inner pad (the one you can't see... Typically!) usually wears faster. You'll probably need to get the wheel off for a proper look. As said before only one sensor front and one rear. Passenger side (near side) front, rear drivers side (off side)

well tbh i know the front sensor is dodgy as the little clip bent funny last time i had the brakes apart the other month when i was having bother so going on this info im 99% sure itll be that

Cheap fix then £10-£15 eurocarparts

oooops checked them today and the inner pads have around 2mm on so a trip to motor factors tomora!! only thing is ive recently had trouble with the pedal pushing right to the floor and i got them bled up the other week so they were normal and now when i put new pads in right round it will be tight as hell!!

fitted new front pads and put the sensor back on as it came off, and anyway the lights still on, also when fitting i removed the cap off the resovoir for the brake fluid so as i pushed back the pistons(alot pads were on metal) and a small amount of fluid was pushed out is this ok?? also before i started the fluid was past the max level!

Did you change the sensor too?

fluid was pushed out as in it overflowed? i think brake fluid is highly damaging to painted surfaces..

By the way, once you have a new sensor there is a reset procedure to turn the light off again. Something like leaving divers door open and turning key to pos 2 for 20 secs?

Search here and I'm sure it will come up.

Divers door? Didn't know submarines had brake wear sensors too lol

Lol. @£&@£! iPhone.
