There are strange lights comimg on on my dashboard grumpy. I don't know what these are for and there is no info in the almost useless car manual. I have an after market alarm fitted, but this doesn't seem to do much in the way of LEDs.

I work away from home, so there are sometimes long periods betewwn me driving it. I'm sure there were no lights last time I started it though.

Any thoughts? Its the red and green rectangular LEDs to the bottom right of the rev counter.

Although I am not that familiar with the earlier dash I am guessing it is the ice detector. Later cars have a tri-colour snowflake between the dials which glows either green/yellow/red depending on how cold it is.

Thanks guys.

I guess that makes sense, with all the snow and everything.

Cheers
