I'll advise the pads themselves if need be

	You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

I never said a brake pad warning light should fail. I said I don't even bother advising it if it's on. I think your confusing it with the parking brake light that is sometimes linked to the brake fluid level.

off the cuff if its amber advise (excluding abs) & if its red (handbrake off) may think twice about advising,

I would always advise a handbrake light if it was still showing with the handbrake off and if appropriate advise that the bake fluid level was unable to be checked. Of course if the brake fluid level could be checked then I would advise that it was ok on the same line as the handbrake light advisory or separately fail it for being below the minimum.

I suppose I would do the same with a red pad warning light. A regular orange/yellow one wouldn't get an advise from me.

Even service due indicators and washer level.
