I find it's not always as easy as it should be to keep up!

Yes the warning lamp failure has been removed/reworded. They've done so that the brakes themselves have to be worn to the wear indicator. That could be an electrical sensor or the type with the piece of metal that touches the disk. Don't know the technical name for it sorry
