Yup ;) everyone inc. me answered handbrake on  ;D

as per the AA site...

Brake system warning light

This light will remain illuminated when the handbrake is engaged. Illumination after releasing the handbrake may indicate low brake fluid level.

Refer the the handbook and add the correct brake fluid at once to bring the level up to the MAX mark. As the brakes wear the fluid level will slowly drop. Check your brake fluid level frequently to ensure there is no further rapid loss of fluid.

If the brake fluid is too low and brake pedal travel is distinctly longer than usual, one of the two hydraulic brake circuits may have failed. Do not continue your journey and seek assistance.

If the light remains illuminated, even though the brake fluid level is correct, this may indicate a sensor fault. Take your vehicle to a dealer or garage as soon as possible.

It's a general warning about a fault in the braking system.

Looks like I better check out the tow bar electrics, only got the one socket; I have an old towing board that I used to use in the early 80's I could use to test, but have the sockets changed the way they are wired more recently?............ :-\ :-\

I think the MOT only tests a 13 pin socket & not the old style 12N socket  :-\
