My little spot on the Internet about timing belt repair
Your brakes are just letting you know that they are on the job! Would they be doing their job properly if they didn't wear down? Just remember one thing: Take your car to a certified brake repair technician at the first sign of trouble, and do not attempt brake repair on your own. Repair shops are the best qualified places to handle brake repair. Your brakes have wear indicators that squeal when they start scraping against the turning rotor, as well as a few other tried and true signals that brake repair is needed. Low brake fluid will trigger your brake light, while either a strong odor or an accumulation of amber liquid underneath your car indicates leaking brake fluid. The smell of brake fluid is quite distinctive! Vibrating wheels or brake pedals signal rotor surface problems.
