Worn Brake Pad warning light

I've got the amber triangle warning my brake pads are worn, I had the rear discs and pads replaced less than 2000 miles ago and at that point the front pads were only 25% worn, any ideas why the warning is on.....dodgy sensor? ____________________

One answer could be a stuck rear caliper, that has worn your pad down to the sensor - its happened to me before but on the other side and trashed a new disc

Get it checked by someone who knows.

Keep your fingers crossed, might be when rear pads were replaced they never clipped sensor wire up properly and it's just chafed through on disc or caliper, wouldn't be the first time.

Forgot to mention, if I remember correctly there is only one rear sensor and that is fitted to the O/S/R caliper.

Wee update on this one, it was indeed a damaged brake sensor, £3 replacement from ebay... tricky wee to fit, glad I have small hands
