Can anyone tell me where the 'test' button is for the Hydraulic warning lights on a Shadow 1, 1972 vintage. Am I correct in thinking there are 2 lower lights, circuit one & two...and a higher general warning light ?

Should they all come on with the press of this switch, and the extinguish when the engine is started.

Thank you gents.

Hi rswift,

I have only just joined up to Piston Heads and having an interest in Classic cars I have bought a beautifull blue RR Silver Shadow from 1969.
Last Sunday, intent on showing off my new aquisition and doing a little posing round Stratford-upon-Avon we decided on a drive-out. We took my mother-in-law all wrapped up in pillows etc as she, sadly, is not in a good way and is dying of pancreatic cancer.
The trip started really well but then imagine my alarm when the Rolls stalled in the middle of the town. I got it started but then it proceeded to stall at every junction when I tried to accelerate.
Stress levels went through the roof and I was in great danger of loosing my partner as well as mother-in-law!
Got home eventually although we were on the point calling at least a taxi.
The car has two SU carbs. Can you tell me what I need to do. I suspect it is over fueling.

Yours in desparation - Woottonpark
