as above - keeps flickering on and off and stays on for ages till I hit a few bumps in the road.

how can I stop this without removing the bulb lol

 

You can stop it by fixing your brakes.

The fluid level in the reservoir will be low, and thats low either because you have a leak or because your pads are getting dangerously low, either way, thats fairly critical in my opinion and you should give all the brakes a once over, dont just top the fluid up.

 

I have no sensors on my pads and the fluid is on max lol! sometimes I can stop it by playing with the handbrake

 

Check the wires on the resevoir plug top.

 

It hasnt got anything to do with pad sensors

Check the adjustment of the handrbake and switch if your confident your brakes arent at fault.
