engine coolant

[puma86]

Hi,

My friend has a Ford Ka. She said her warning light tends to come on every now and then.
Any ideas why this could be happening?
I asked her if everything was topped up and she said she hadn't looked so I just went down and popped the bonnet and the coolant is well below the min and the brake fluid could do with a top up (sitting just below if not on the min). Could this be why its coming on?

Thanks
Kate

it stands a good chance of it being caused by low fluid / coolant levels.
