On my S2 the Oil Pressure Warning Light doesnt come on - handbook says 'Not utilised on standard S models' so I'm notworried but when was it connected, can anyone throw some light please?

Brake fluid warning light is dead, is this common and are there any usual problem areas to check please?

Harard Warning Lights warning light in the little red button isnt working have changed bulb to no avail, all other functions of the switch are fine, again any ideas please.

Assuming the Hazard lights themselves all work OK then If the bulb itself is OK and you have power at the bulb holder then it must be the earth for the warning light itself. test meter is what you need...

On my car this one isn't wired up. The engine doesn't have a sensor either. In the same cluster there's also a 'fuel level low' warning light, which isn't used either. Apparently TVR decided to cut costs by not fitting these?

If you pull the handbrake, both the handbrake and brake fluid level warning lights should come on. If one of the lights doesn't come on, the warning light is suspect. If they both come on when pulling the handbrake, but the level warning light doesn't come on when you unscrew the brake fluid cap, or push the top of the cap, probably the switch inside the cap needs cleaning. You can prise off the top of the cap to unveil the switch. Also check the connector to the brake fluid cap.

Harard Warning Lights warning light now working as I have changed the switch unit, I guess the original had dirty contacts. The replacement didnt work at first for the ordinary flashers, took it apart, BING little springs and odd bits everywhere took ages to re assemble but all is now working. Worst three dimensional jigsaw puzzle I have ever had
