Diagnostic tools and "Check brake lights"

[kajagoogoo]

Gents (presumably....)

Two issues:

I have an 07 Conti GT

1. Every now and then "check brake lights" flashes up on my warning screen. Weeks can pass before it happens again. I check the brake lights and they are all always working properly. Any thoughts?

2. Is it worth me buying a "VAS 5054A VW Audi Bentley and Lamborghini Multi-language diagnostic tool"? You can see it at

Hope to hear from you.

Andrew,

Many thanks for your swift response.

I saw the product you mentioned on the net. Is it really safe for a complete novice (me)to experiment with this kind of thing, or is it best left to experts?

If I go plugging things in now, might that negate the extended warranty I have?

Also, I saw a thread about a meet - but wasn't sure if a location had finally been decided. Would be happy to pitch up if its within reasonable striking distance from Bucks.

Andrew,

Many thanks. Did you guys agree on a date for the meet? The relevant thread circles but doesn't seem to land.....
