lcr rear pad replacement

[cupraluke]

Hello all,ive just replaced the rear brake pads on my lcr and im getting a warning light and beeper (constantly) and cant suss out why.Can any of you knowlegable chaps suggest what to do to cure the problem?I thought it might be low oil level but its high if anything.

is your handbrake on?

I dont mean literaly "constantly",im getting three beeps and and the light is flashing red every few minutes when im driving (with the handbrake off!).Im thinking maybe there's a sensor for high oil level in the brake system or something.

Common fault on LCRs. Coincidence that it happens at the same time you change your pads.

could be either i know the car beeps at you when you leave the handbrake on and try to move, but also as si-mate said the coolant tank is known to go to

It just needed topping up a little,simple!Thanks anyway.

which way do you have to turn piston to wind back caliper as will hope to tackle rear pads very soon on my own car

Clockwise i think but be cautious because if the piston pops out its a pain in the arse to get back in and you'll probably split the seal as i did.I used a pair of swan neck pliers (with masking tape on the jaws) to rotate the piston right back and your new pads should slip straight in,job done........good luck!
