Oil pressure tell tale

Post by malcolm »

Where is the light suposed to be for the oil pressure tell tale. I always keep an eye on the pressure gauge (which is fine) but ive just realised when I turn the ignition on I cant see it. It doesnt seem to have a position on the picture of the dash in the service notes either.

There isn't a warning light - at least, I've never found one.
