Could be something as silly as handbrake still on warning. I've done this several times! Sure you let the handbrake off fully (be honest now!)?

No handbrake definatly wasnt on, it was off fully. maybe the big hump just before the beep coursed it to pop on for a split second or something :confused:

Yup, brake fluid warning light!

Mine used to come on when I parked on a hill, just topped up the fluid and was fine. :)
