Hi all

Just wandering what lights I should see stay on my dashboard/instrument cluster when the ignition is on the second setting (just before firing the engine) as I have the battery, oil, handbrake and a small orange pump looking light. They stay I until I start the engine?!?!

Thanks

Dan

    Ok you should expect the following:

    - oil light

    - Battery

    - Handbrake

    - engine management light

    - ABS light (this may go off after self checks are done, around 3 secs)

    - Fuel Light - if you have a low fuel level in tank

    Once started all but handbrake will go off. (and fuel light - if you need fuel)

    I ask about petrol or diesel as you will get glow plug lights on a diesel.
