2 + 2 = 'ice detector' - ie it's lit to tell you the temp is near freezing, meaning you're supposed to use less right foot.

'Happy Christmas'
Or it's just your Ice Warning light, telling you it's a bit nippy outside

Hooray something i can help with

Its the ice warning light. It very helpfully tells you it is very cold outside - as if you didnt know!

I find most distracting when driving at night and a red light appears on the dashboard - i keep meaning to have it disconnected.

If it's working properly it t'll come on as either: green amber or red which translates to: nippy, cold or I've just seen a brass monkey walking down the road with a soldering iron

Dont talk to me about the roof! I have been practically blinded by having the roof off all day yesterday, the cold and wind have dried my contacts to my eye balls!
