bmw x5 handbrake sensor

[chezzer]

hi thinking of buying this x5 ive seen but on test drive i noticed the handbrake warning light was still on when driving along and was flashing up on the warning indicators too but when you clicked the handbrake on 1 click it was fine and cleared the problem over 1 click it showed up again big problem sensor change adjusting?? and squealing brakes also on new pads??

My handbrake failed, cost £500 to fix some electrical component. Took the indie (good BMW indie too) a couple of days to actually find the fault.

Also suffering from squealing brakes occasionally, am told a dab of copper grease will fix
