Suspension fault light, low range light, HDC light and DSC light. That's all.
However, between the tacho and the matrix display there is a single light... Perhaps that's it? Difficult to see what it is, but I've never seen it illuminated.

Go to gallery at the top of the page under DISCO3.CO.UK and then "Upload Pictures".
They need to be kinda small though, say 0.5Mb Sail Fast - Live Slow...

Thats it Rob, I remember now. The only question now is, can an led be put behind it? and is it a big job to get to it.

Here are some pics, basicly its not easy to use the original LED that is in the dash as it seems CAN switched.
I drilled a hole as you see in the pic and added a LED to show you how, i added a orange LED as it was all i had that had a good bright light.
I did have the run of the mill red LED but it was not bright eniough so you must fit a bright one.
Pics are not super good but i hope they help.

Great, but you can't see it from outside the car.
Without having done any investigation into this idea...........
What's the thoughts on running a wire from the out on the timer to the drivers door repeater indicator lamp housing and putting an LED into that. That way if the timer's on the indicator on that side will glow?
Don't know if there's enough room in the lamp housing to fit an LED?
When my car's parked in the driveway, I can generally see the drivers side no matter where it is in the drive.
Just a thought
Mind you, it probably wouldn't bee see in it was light outside?Sail Fast - Live Slow...
