A very important brake light keeps popping up when i turn a tight right or when i am sat at a stand still and release the brake and clutch at the same time!!

Any ideas, i know it is important to get fixed asap but there are no apparent problems other than the light popping up UN-announced!

Similar to the picture below but it is just the symbol without the word "Brake" below it...

Means fault in the brake system... maybe low fluid so check that first...

Two things can bring it on.

Low brake fluid
ABS fault

Given you've got the ABS and TC lights up as well however, its likely its an ABS issue.
 
Sorry mate that pic is not my car it was just an example!

never the less im going to buy some brake fluid and top it up even though it looks fairly full anyway!

Ill try anything and hope its not a multi million dollar problem
 
Could it be a pad sensor, sometimes these can flash up randomly even though there is plenty of pad material left.
