Yesterday I was thrashing the pants off my car (I normally drive like a grandma, seriously  :)) when I got an abrupt 'STOP!' on the MFA then saying 'Brake Fault' with the hand brake (!) light flashing as well. It flashed both messages for a couple of seconds then the light went out and screen back to normal. Thought hmm odd and carried on.. The brakes worked fine.

Today I've had it pop up several times doing the same thing, it seems to be related to revs?? Once I go past about 4.5k it beeps?
I was thinking I need to scan it but a quick Google reckons it actually wont log an error for those sorts of messages. Suggestions seem to be check brake fluid levels, though I don't get how it seems to relate to the revs unless it could be some sort of g-force related thing moving the fluid level in relation to the sensor.

Anyway, I'll check that tomorrow. Anyone else experienced this though?

If its intermittent i imagine its the fluid level. Top it up and you should be sweet!

Have you thought of it possible being something in the line of vacuum errors? That is in relation to revs i would of thought?

Yes boss :D
Still haven't bled my lines after cooking my brakes at Hampton, so maybe a good excuse!
