I have just bled the brakes on my 1972 1800E and everything works fine except the brake warning light does not light when the hand-brake is on.

For bleeding, I followed the Volvo w/s manual and removed the warning lamp switch near the master cylinder and refitted it afterwards.

I also ascertained that the warning light bulb was working by earthing the feed wire from the switch.

I haven't done any work on the hand-brake, so I can rule that out.

Any useful hints and tips would be appreciated, thanks.
