I'm having a problem with my BG,

After i disengage the hand brake light brake light goes off (ok thats not the prob)

however once i take off, the light comes back on, will stay on for a while then goes off.. It seems to come on when the engine is slightly struggling. like, if i don't give it enough accelerator when releasing the clutch.
Sometimes it will come on and stay on for 10 or so minutes

Anybody have an idea on what it might be?

Thanks people.

this light is also your low brake level warning. check the level of your brake fluid.

well i had a look and the brake fluid was about 50% between the min and max

top it up to the max line. The reason the light comes on when you depress the clutch is that the brake resevoir is also the clutch resevoir so when the clutch is down the fluid level will go below the switch for the light. :)
