check your brake fluid level. You might be a bit low.

Thanks 993 C4S but the fluid is on the "max" level.

It now comes on just about 5-10 mins into a drive or if i just pump the pedal 5-6 times in the garage

The manual says "The pressure reserve maybe to low" where do i fill this up

Any other ideas

Strange I had the same symptom but my brake fluid liquid was just to low (or in fact it wasn't but the brake pads were so worn out that the level dropped to the limit). The light would come up while accelerating or driving on a bump. Turn the engine off and it's gone for a while till the next bump in the road. Good way to see you have worn your brake pads if (like me) you are to lazy to check it out !
