Hi Guys,

I've a late 2000 156 2.0. 27,000miles.

When i accelerate hard (which is quite a lot!) the handbrake warning
light comes on on the instrument panel. This happens mostly in second
from 3000rpm all the way to 7000. but also occurs in other gears.

It goes off when i shift up or if i take it easy. But whats the point
of ownig an alfa if i'm not gonna drive it enthuastically.

Someone told me this was due to too little brake fluid sloshing around
in the tank but i checked it and its fine. Also would this not cause
it to happen under heavy braking and cornering. (something i'm also
fond of!)

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
