Brake fluid level
I had my front pads renewed by a Land Rover Indy just as the Covid lock down struck. I had the check brake pads light coming on all the while and they were low but not completely worn down.
The brakes are good but I keep getting the intermittent check brake pads light and now the orange brake warning light which I think was coming on with the previous check brake pad warning light. Indy said no problem bring it back then Covid struck. It’s ticking me off now so I had a quick look to check if my fluid was low perhaps. The fluid level looks to be a little high if anything. New pads I guess mean the pistons are further in than previously and the fluid correspondingly high?
Should I be getting a check brakes orange light because of a fluid issue please?
Hoping to see the garage open again soon for a proper check.Discovery 3 tdv6 HSE 2007

Thanks for that. I’m pretty confident it’s a warning light for pads, no grinding from the rear so it’s all good for now.Discovery 3 tdv6 HSE 2007
