i had this recently after getting brake caliper changed,random stop warnings with no more info,then i had other caliper changed by a different garage and they screwed up the job and basically all my brake fluid pissed out eventually throwing up a "stop" followed by "brake fluid" but according to garage that fixed it properly if i'd have used the brakes a few more times before i rolled slowly up to the garage my braking would have involved a wall or something equally as nasty

I have a problem when driving around the "STOP" light keeps coming on intermittently?
No other dash lights on, all oils coolants etc ok

Can anyone advise

Still having the same problem, I changed the thermostat sensor and replace the split cylinder head vacuum hoses but still its telling me to STOP intermittently
FINALLY sorted with this fault, had VASS TECH in Rugby take a look and traced the fault to the sensor in the coolant bottle.

Clean the two metal prongs in the coolant bottle and check the sensor bud :smiley:
