On heavyish braking and cornering the stop light flickers on, then off again on lifting off the brakes or coming out of the corner.
I'm concerned this might be a hydraulic problem - should I be ? or is it normal behaviour ?
Suspension appears to be OK on engine start up - front lifts, then back, then front adjusts. When changing ride height suspension appears to respond normally.
Brakes are fine on startup once suspension has levelled.
Any suggestions ?

As suggested above :
CHECK the engine oil level on the dipstick ASAP [:0]
- then another problem may be a missing damper disc in the reservoir float.
The float in the bulb that indicates LHM reservoir level - is sliding in a separate tube within the reservoir filter/manifold unit.
This tube is blanked off at bottom with a coin-size plastic disc - with a hole allowing the LHM flowing slowly in/out - thus damping off the fluid level movements during drive.
This disc may sometimes be found at the bottom of the reservoir - where it does no good [:)]
