Braking system warning light - nothing wrong with brakes.

My daughter's Zafira SRI (07) is showing the braking system warning light after running over a brick on the road. She has been told that the brakes are ok but cannot get the warning light turned off to pass the MOT. is there anywhere in East Anglia she can go to get it fixed cheaply?

The warning can be switched off via the OBDII diagnostics port. But if there is actual damage to the braking system it will come back on, and that is a good thing.

Last thing you want is brake failure in a 7 seater full of kids.
