I pulled away from a stop sign and noticed this light flashing. I drove right back home, but everything seemed fine. I turned it off and restarted it and now it doesn't flash any more.

Isn't it a brake light?

Sounds like you need to push the reset pin or button on the master cylinder to stop that clicking sound, take off the cover, slide the rubber boot up and click the reset switch...let me know if that works and how much trouble it was. I will be doing this too when it stops pouring rain here, cheers

The reset on the MC switch is very easy. The hardest part here is just jacking up the front of the car. 4 Bolts for the spash shield and some hand twisting on the MC.

BTW, do you see any RHD 914s in Japan?
