Suggestion
Had that light on for best part of 2,000 miles (mostly long motorway trips, with minimal brake use) before I could get them changed and they were still not quite down to the metal (no disc damage).
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey Guys,
A light came on on the dah this morning just as I was pulling in to work...
its a red circle with 3 dots on either side |O| looking something like that (next to the handbrake light). I think its the brakes sensor light telling me I need new brakes, but as I don't have my drivers manual I can't confirm my suspicions - can any of you?
thanks in advance.
cool. thanks...atleast I can drive her home...I assume theres still enough pads for a 100 miles or so..her service is due at the end of the month, will get it done now instead.

Just don't do a track day before you change them!
