The parking brake indicator came on mid journey the other day.

I first thought maybe the pedal was hanging so I gave it a little nudge, but no change. Did some reading and it apparently doubles as a low brake fluid warning. Checked my fluid and sure enough it was right at the minimum level. There has been no change in pedal feel or any leaks so I guess it's about due for some new pads(and probably rotors).

Damn talk about knowing cars. I thought I was good knowing the majority of what cars come thru my job all the time, but sheesh.

flush it if there is a chance the fluid is also 30+ years old also. I recognize dat w123 dash anywhere. 82 then?

Loved to watch the oil pressure gauge go *plink* against the stop pin. Let it warm up a bit then turn the hand idle control back to the left. I miss this car.
