Hey guys,
My lib has only just randomly started to show the handbrake light during hard braking and hard cornering (hill-climb corning). and it will disappear after a few seconds after.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
Russ

Check your brake fluid level. I'd say that it's just low enough to activate the low fluid lamp (same as hand brake lamp) when it shifts around in the reservoir.
If It is low, check for leaks in your lines, calipers and master cylinder.

Brake pads that are approaching the end of their life will also cause the fluid level to drop.
If what Chris (SUBARU) suggested checks out, look at the pads.
