I may be wrong but generally the handbrake warning light also doubles as a general brake error. It will also light if your fluid is low for example. On mine its all three that light up and this amkes ...

Well I went out and had a bit more of a play and here's what I think.

Did anybody get a definite solution to this issue?

The dealer is unable to rectify and finds that all the Puma Defenders are like this. Given this is the same transfer case as my old TD5 had I ain' ...
