1 easy way to solve the confusion - manual handbrake or epb?

Brake fluid level might be a bit low which would put on the light

Thanks taxi501 that would make sense as like I said it only happens when stopped on an incline .I'll look into that now

Well I topped the brake fluid up ,wasn't much needed and it seems to have done the trick , thank you so much

Bear in mind that when brake pads wear the system uses more brake fluid to push/hold the pistons out further.  ie there's a fair chance your brakes are getting thin.
