Hi all, new to the site and writing posts.

I have a Defender 110; 2.4 TDI XS 2011 model that I brought across from the UK. No dramas with it until about 3 months ago when the handbrake light on the dash started to flicker. I replaced the switch at the handbrake after reading it was a common fault but it has not solved the issue. Should I check for loose wiring in the dash?? Would need a view on how to access if this is the solution or advise on any other possible cure! Cheers.

Mate check the brake fluid level if low top up,low oil level will make the dash light come on.

Adjust your park brake.
I did this and mine stopped flickering. Funny enough, it did it yesterday, and I thought to myself,,, "self, time to adjust again maybe" ;)
