Fluids are ok.   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Billb Post Number: 885 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 12:09 pm:    Could be bad connection to MC level sensor Bill   Jerry Crawford (Jcrawford) Member Username: Jcrawford Post Number: 66 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 12:23 pm:    may also be you're a bit low on brake fluid in the resoivior (sp) teh switch for that light (I'm told) is in the resavior cap and when your pads wear the fluid level drops in there making the light come on. Same thing happened to me recently in Oklahoma. I checked it out and the light went out. Nothing since.   Jerry Crawford (Jcrawford) Member Username: Jcrawford Post Number: 72 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 12:20 pm:    ...and speaking of brake pads...are Midas pads worth the lifetime cost of dealing with them or are LR pads so simple to drop in it's just as easy to DIY? Any special tools needed?   Mike Bauer (Mikeb) Member Username: Mikeb Post Number: 68 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 01:17 pm:    Jerry: Welcome back! A brake job on a Disco is super easy. No special tools needed other than something to bleed the brakes and basic hand tools. Call me at home if you have questions! Thanks, Mike B.
