Hi. Yeah me again.

What's the light for above the choke?
Only noticed it today. Flashes away. Seems to dim with more revs.

i had something very similar on marladys 1.6 n/a......seemed to flash everytime i came to a junction,scared the s**t out of me cause i thought it was a low oil pressure light or something of that nature...everytime i slowed down to navigate a junction it flashed.......in the end i worked out it only flashes when i turn the indicator on....oh well!!!.....hope yours is as meaningless as marn was owduck

Hmmmm, interesting.

I'll post a pic sometime. I can definately see it pulse with revs. Brightest on tick-over & almost completely out by 3000rpm.

Strange,

For info: it`s not a "choke", it`s a cold start device on a diesel. (or somewhere to hang your handbag if you are the female of the species)
