Xantia Warning Lights   
The 'Stop' and 'Brake warning' lights on my 2000 Xantia 2.00hdi have
started flickering.  I have no confidence in any Citroen warning light
as they all seem to have faults, esp Seat Belt warnings for which
Citroen like to charge £190 to fix.  Has anyone any idea how to
resolve this?  The car is handling perfectly and this flickering is
very intermitent.

Any advice gratefully received.

Sounds like the brake pads are approaching their wear limit. Change
them.

Is there enough LHM in there? (Well, it's one of the easiest things to check 
:-) )

Like others have said check the pads and fluid level. I have had warning 
lights come on for silly reasons but not often. The worst was my Renault 10 
which would give weird faults if a fuse went and the windscreen wipers were 
used.
