brake check would look at the bulb holder ( brown and white wire i think), and the bulbs.
if your water bottle frozz up the the switch may have been damaged.

my float switch sensor is new freecall also if the switch was damaged, seeing as its only a float switch on/off i would get the level warning on start up not just on turning car off  :-?

Errr, that is incorrect...  ...Check Brakelight, if it doesn't go out, will be brake switch.

Brake Light is a bulb/circuit fault.

no ideas about the washer level only coming up on switch off jamie  :-? its baffling me    ::)
and its only on turning ignition off, like the other warnings that remind you that you havent done anything about them, doesnt come up on start up or whilst the car running  :-? :-?

some faults maybe still in the display, so on switch off it displays them, so may just need a rest

Can you get a meter across the sensor, just to prove it?

Does sound a bit odd...

Would this have been removed for the head gasket work to be done, as mine has only started doing this since I had work done on the car...
