Omega General Help / V6 front brakes

« on: 26 January 2009, 13:49:06 »

Woohoo the2.2 Gls is gone.
Got a lovely 98 v6 estate instead.
Can anyone tell me why the onboard computer keeps giving a check for the front brakes??
The garage stated the front brakes were done just before they got it?
Could it be a connection not put back??
Or does the computer need telling theyve been replaced??
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards
