The brake pad warning light came on on our 58 plate Transit the other day. We took it into a garage near my wife’s work as work patterns meant we couldn’t get to our usual place.
They’ve replaced the pads but the warning light is still on which they say is due to “a well known issue with the rear brake light on Transits” and for some reason they can’t / haven’t fixed that. Apparently the bulb blowing triggers the warning light or something like that.
I’ve not spoken to them yet so before I call, has anyone heard of such a fault? I did a bit of googling and didn’t find anything but that’s not to say it doesn’t exist.
I’m not one to prejudge (well, maybe a bit) but the above and a few other issues in how they’ve dealt with this mean I’m getting a definite whiff of BS.
Cheers.
