i asked the question but have since found out the problem, it turned out to be a low fluid level in the brake master cylinder. i found out by sideways banging to the brake foot pedal which made the warning light flicker which led me to believe something was amiss under the bonnet and connected to the brake pedal is the master cylinder !! silly old me. now iv`e got to find out where the fluid is going if it does. one does live and learn !!. so whilst the warning light serves the purose of letting you know the handbrake is still on it also is telling you the brake fluid is low. my clio (19995) is an automatic.

How do you drift in Grand Theft Auto?

Use the regular brake (reverse) with the handbrake. You'll have to work out how long to hold them, though I can tell you that you don't hold the handbrake as long as the normal brake (you really only hold the handbrake for a second). If you start to fishtail, steer into the skid. Its harder to drive in GTA 4, but its actually closer to what you would do in an actual car.

Why does handbrake light on rover 214si keep flashing when driving in second gear Never in any other gear just second?

I have the same thing with my 220Gsi.. It seems it has nothing to do with the handbrake though. I suspect it has to do with the level of your steering fluid. I will check it out and let you know later this week


Is handbrake illegal?

I think that technically it is. It is breaking the encryption on your DVD and making a copy. Though why backing something up that you bought is agonist the law. Though it is hardly a definitive legal issue right now.


Why does your car beep when you turn the key in the ignition to start it?

It could be a way of saying "I'm working fine and starting now because you told me to", I've been in a few cars that do that. Look out for warning lights on your dashboard though because the sound could accompany a flashing warning light, the user manual/booklet that came with the car will have all the details regarding what you need to do when warning lights are displayed. The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps your doors aren't closed properly, the boot might still be open or your seatbelt might not be on.


Whose fault is it if a Cop hits you from behind and you hit car in front of you?

What usually triggers the brake light on the dashboard even though the brake had just inspected?

Low fluid level.


93 grand Cherokee the aural warning horn has a continuous tone and the brake lights quit working at the same time the brake switch appears to work normal?

my '94 grand 'kee has a similar problem. The warning tone comes on and STAYS ON, even though the dashboard diagnostic display doesnt show anything is wrong. It will cut out intermittently, and then quit for no reason after about 20 minutes. Drives my wife nuts. ( I drive a Ford Ranger lol)


Do geese have camouflage or warning coloration?

geese are not poisonous or otherwise dangerous, so their coloration is not warning away other animals. They do have predators though, so their coloration is for camouflage.


When i release arm brake dash light stays on.?

This certainly sounds like a faulty handbrake switch. This is located underneath the handbrake arm itself and if you remove the center console it is easily accessible. Just a case of replacing this. Before you do this though I would recommend you check your brake fluid level as some vehicles can use the same light for both.


How do you get your Xbox 360 slim to read the disc. I can get to the dashboard but it says open tray even though the game is in. It also isn't spinning the disc?

If the dashboard says that there is no disc inserted. The disk drive is damaged and should be replaced.
