Hi , 

Does anybody know what these two lights are for , both are illuminated when the engine is running.

immobiliser I think, we didn't have it in europe, bit of nightmare to work on if it goes wrong, usually bypassed, don't know exactly how

I have a brand new spare of one of the alarm/immobiliser relays, the red one #206, 431 951 253 F

The alarm/immobiliser works ok at the minute although i have it turned off with the small key , bypassing it is beyond my ability , a job for an auto electrician.

The bell symbol indicates that the alarm has been triggered since arming. The engine symbol indicates that the immobilizer has been triggered.

Neither are an engine check light, as I once argued with a stroppy ignorant young MOT man.

iirc, my ZA Microbus handbook went to another owner after I broke mine.

Rather late to this but when turned of by the key the two lights will be on at the time. If it’s the same immobiliser as by 92 one was, it’s behind the glove box and pulling the plugs from it will bypass it. Remote central locking will be disabled as well.
