Set off this morning and on an icy road the traction control kicked in - then I was subjected to 5 'bongs' from the warning panel and the flashing red brake fluid indicator. This was followed by the ABS and Traction warning lights staying on.
Apart from sh**ting myself I stopped the car turned the ignition on again and got the 'OK' self check. Another 10 miles got a repeat performance.
Checked the manual and it indicates low brake fluid - which on checking appears to be above the 'low' marker OR an ABS fault - which sounds expensive.
Anyone experienced similar or does the brake fluid need to be well over the minimum marker? Will try this first when I get some fluid.
