	I'm told that it isn't ... but I will check with main dealer Incidentally I was assuming that the circuit used the worn pad as a connection to earth but apparently it works the opposite way. i.e. A worn pad creates an open circuit "SimonJ" <me@mine.net> wrote in message news:d4u91a$dfk$1@nwrdmz02.dmz.ncs.ea.ibs-infra.bt.com...>> I have a Rover 75 2.0 CDT and the brakepad warning light does not> extinguish>> The pads are new and the leads and connections to the pads are ok>> Any ideas re likely fault may be ?>> Its not a dealer reset thing is it?>

	Hmm ... well that is something I had not even considered The light came on when I was working away from home ... Not sure if it was a fault or worn pads I dropped vehicle into ATS and they changed the pads and also the front discs (they were scaled) The light didn't extinguish and they suggested it was a faulty connection on the front pad - I have checked it and it seems ok "Johnny" <n@spam.com> wrote in message news:4272b5b9_3@mk-nntp-2.news.uk.tiscali.com...> "Jim Lad" <JimLad@somewhere.com> wrote in message > news:15WdncAzr-vyCu_fRVnyjQ@eclipse.net.uk...>>I have a Rover 75 2.0 CDT and the brakepad warning light does not >>extinguish>> The pads are new and the leads and connections to the pads are ok>> Any ideas re likely fault may be ?>> Regards to all and TIA>> I'm not at all familiar with the Rover 75, but I'd guess that they use a > similar system to what BMW use (not that I'm familiar with those > either!!!).

BMWs have sensors in the pads that must be replaced (unless> you changed your pads before the sensor triggered). On my E39 BMW, after changing pads and sensors, you have to leave the ignition on without starting the engine for a few minutes to re-set the warning light. If you don't it will take several days - by adding up the times the ignition is on before starting to make up the couple of minutes. -- *A day without sunshine is like... night.

They did fit new sensors, didn't they? (wear sensors wear with the pads, and are not reusable.) Take it back to them, let them sort it.

This fits into a cutout in the pad, but is about the height of the minimum pad thickness. When the pad wears enough, the disc cuts through the plastic and earths the wire, latching the light on. The idea of the loop is that it forms part of the warning light 'hold off' circuit. Break the loop - by say not fitting a sensor - and the light will stay on. -- The man who fell into an upholstery machine is fully recovered.

When the front brake pads were changed the light stayed on until the following day.

A lot of cars use the same w/light for pads and fluid level. JOhn
