No new pics, haven't had time... after the excitement of todays purchase, a pint and a spliff were in order.

Will try and get some good one's next time it's light/dry, but it does look really mint - needs a bloody good clean though.

BTW, what the feck is that green strip of LEDs that illuminates with the ignition key, and dissapear when you start the engine? just under the MPG meter...

Cheers

Good to here you happy with your new car!!

They are the service lights, they go out one by one over time, then the red one comes on to say its service time, along with either the oil servicew warning or inspection warning! Iw ouldn't worryabout them, just make sure you keep it maintained well!

That's the Service Indicator.

When reset you get 5 lights, and over time, based on type of driving you do (apparently) they go out until they're all out and you get an amber, then red one to say a service is due/overdue. If you've got an owners manual it'll tell you everything.
