Can anyone tell me what lights they get on their Mk1 Tuscan dash when the key is in position II ?

I am have been fixing the solder joints on the back of the pod, and so far this has brought the handbrake (red) and the battery (red) back to life - but the oil light doesn't come on with the key in position II, it would be good to know if it should !

Answered my own question - manual says oil light goes out when engine is started, implying it is on before that

Back to my original post - could someone let me know what dash lights are on when the ignition is in position 2 (i.e. Just before you turn to start). My red oil pressure light doesn't come on - I have checked the connections in the pod and I don't think it is the switch to ECU as the digital read out of e oil pressure reads and changes like normal. So before I start chasing more ideas I want to be sure it should come on in the first place wink

When I get to position 2 I have to press the (alarm) button on the key and this then turns on the oil light and primes the fuel pump and then I can start the car - so initially it is only the battery light and the handbrake light (when I use it) that are on.

Thank you, based on that I now suspect a bust LED - I'll post the eventual answer !
