On the centre digital display(above the fuel part) there is an orange light on which looks like an upside down bulb with a line through it. Anyone know what this means ???

The bulb out light is only for dipped headlights and rear lights.
Brake light out has brackets round the same symbol. Doesn't anyone read the manual for their cars?

Looked in the book, for a bulb with a cross through it + a circle round it and brackets on the outside, says brake light bulbs are blown, or poss fuses or wiring on the brake light system,

Is it a light bulb or a circle with a "!" in the middle, with brackets round it.
If the latter then that's the brake fluid warning light, nothing to do with bulbs.

Its definatly a light bulb,ive checked every light on the car including the red lamps in the doors and every bulb is fine. I though the n/s/r fog lamp didnt work but when i checked its a blank anyway (who's idea was it to put the cd changer there !!).

Check and make sure it hasn't got a single contact bulb in instead of a stop and tail bulb, some jocky might have put the wrong bulb in !!

Are both the brake lights the same brightness when pressed, is there any flickering at all on any of the bulbs when on, is the warning light on the dash constantly on or intermittent, have you got a towbar fitted ?

There isnt a towbar fitted and both the lights are the same,yesterday i checked every bulb on the car and they all were fine. The warning light is on all the time,exept when you reset the computer,it goes off then "ok" appears for a split second then the warning light comes back on again !!!Jimbo.King said:
Some more pointers: Has it got LED style bulbs fitted, Make sure they are 12v and not 24v bulbs, make sure both filaments in the bulb are connected right and haven't broken and touching across each and shorted out, where abouts are you in the uk, Jim

The car just has normal bulbs fitted,ive checked them all and they are all fine so im a bit lost now !!! Im in redcar/north east !!!
The light is on all the time? Cos IIRC the brake light and main light bulb warning do not come into play until the appropriate lamp is used. Can you take a pic of the light on the dash?

Definately brake lights, I'd just replace both of them (they're only 50p each). I think the system checks the resistance on the lighting circuits to ascertain if there is a fault. Could be one of the bulbs still works but is throwing up more resistance than normal which is triggering the warning.

i seem to recall a similar post where the solution was to change all the individual bulbs in the high level brake light.
