Brake warning light shows on the dashboard
The brake warning light has appeared on the dashboard and doesn't go out when the other lights do after starting the car up.
Brake fluid levels are too low
Looking at the level of fluid in the reservoir it appears to be below the level that it should/used to be.
Brakes do not come on smoothly
When pressing the brake pedal the brakes don't apply in a smooth way, they seem to come on all of a sudden and are more bumpy than they used to be.
