    WARNING!!!

    I had this problem although after turning the engine off and coming back to it a hour later the lights didn't come on. Took it local dealers and they said it needed a new brake pedal switch. ordered and arrived the same day, fitted and i had the car back. All done under warranty!

Got a pic on my mob will put it up tomorrow...

    think when the discs need doing it will be for something else instead of ones from Renault, but can anyone explain what he might mean by the discs being black? Mike - have you seen anything like this when servicing 182 etc?
