    Most likely bomb which is not holding enough pressure hence the warning light. I changed mine and haven't seen the light since..about 4 months ago.

    Last bought mine from Pete at Quattro Corner

            I think the valve on the brake bomb may have gone on mine, can you get the valve the goes on it separately?
