So that would go before the "BRAKE" indicator on the tach signals?

yes the "BRAKE" light on the tach is if you have the E-Brake level pulled. Other is if the sensor in the pads has been worn off .. mean new pads and sensor needs replacing.

Yep, brake pads. And you're not wearing your seatbelt.

Yea mang, your brake pads are worn out. I noticed you have 67,000 miles on your MINI...if those are the original pads, it's probably about time to replace them! Is yours an '03?

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if there was absolutely nothing wrong. I have gotten to the point where I ignore most of the lights on my car.

Most likely they only replaced the rears. The fronts were probably still good at that point.

Definitely check to see how far down the backs are. I recently replaced my pads. I replaced all around, after looking at the new pad, and the old back pads, they were only about 25% gone. Wish I would have just skipped the back replacement. Just didnt think to check.
