Hi all, car is a 1994 UK coupe 2.6 auto, 115k miles.
A year ago, I made the mistake of putting brake fluid in the power
steering fluid reservoir, I realised the next day and drained the
fluid, replacing it with regular red steering fluid - another big
mistake. 2 weeks later the car dumped all of it's fluid, and my garage
diagnosed failure of the power steering pump. They replaced it, and
since then the car's been fine, but the brake light flashes for up to
a minute on a cold start. On a warm start it doesn't flash. Also the
steering occasionally creaks. A couple of months ago the car was
MOT'd, and the rear brake pads changed, no other problems re****ted,
and this is a reputable garage, I trust them.
Another point is that I've researched this, & tried the brake 'bomb'
test - switching the engine off, and pumping the brake pedal - it
takes over 40 pumps to go hard.
Any ideas what's causing the fla****ng light?
Many thanks,
J.
