need to know some more info have you or anyone else for that matter changed any bulbs recently ? possible back feed when brake pedal pressed, do the rear and front lights all work correctly with and without the brake pedal being pressed particular attention to brightness/dimmness or another lamp coming on dimly. try wiggling the hand brake lever in the off position there is a switch underthere that can become loose. although there was no sensor loop's on the pads there may still be the wireing tucked up somewhere that some previous owner has modified and causing problems that should be enough to be getting on with !!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

hi yes i have tried all the obvious things and cant find any wires to indicate that there were ever any connectors to the pads and cant find any so back to the drawing board

The red brake indicator on the dash is only used for a low fluid warning and hand brake on warning according to the wiring diagrams, I would go with Top blokes theory of a bad earth some where back feeding to the dash? try unplugging the brake lights and seeing what happens when you hit the pedal? also unplug the switch on the reservoir cap, also check the overall condition of the wiring to the brake pedal switch and the fluid reservoir switch paying attention to the earthing points of theses circuits!
