[Muttley]

Do you mean the little set of 4 lights that are below the speedo, they contain a low brake fluid light, a vacuum warning light (diesels only) the other two are spare but are sometimes used for trailer warning lamps.

ive found out that the mk 2 diesals have 4 like muttley says 1 vacume gauge warning 2 brake warning 3 spare 4 pre heater warning my choke is useing the pre heater light to tell me its still out same symbal tho

[Muttley]

If you take the strip out and look through it with the bulbholders removed you can see the symbols. For some reason the red lens is covered with a grey film from new, this can be removed with polish if you want to sse the symbols all the time

yep i took it out and had a look only the right hand side one connected (red)looked like brake res

[Muttley]

That light only comes on just as you start the van as a test, take the small wire off the starter solenoid and turn the key to start, voila the light comes on
