rattyvee Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hi everyoneI bought my girlfriend a 1999 SDi 1.7 lupo about a month ago for what i thought was a bargain price.I thought at the time 'I'll spend the next 2 weeks discovering why it was so cheap'now we know !ok , having repaired both lock mechanisms with the usual ebay kitsreplaced the clutch and gear gate rodtightened up the loose pendulum support ...I'm left with :a flashing red exclamation brake warning lamp on the dash : comes on when I hit 10 mph accompanied by 3 bleepsfluid level looks ok, front pads plenty wear left (any sensors on the rear drums ?) only mystery is a plastic pipe leaving the top pf the brake fluid reservoir that's had a metal tube crimped off to block it ! what should that have instead ? I've looked on elsawin and can't see any diagram of the fluid reservoir)anybody want to help a newby who's stumped ?cheers !no hazards. (new switch/relay made no difference) should there be a permanent live to a terminal on the switch ? cos there isn't ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz1981 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 can u take a picture of the fluid res? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzerman Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Swear i just answered this somewhere else :S Check the cables to the handbrake (earth wire) such other wires maybe causing it to come out and bleep?. Low oil makes a bleep aswell so double check that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
