Random question, but where is the petrol warning light on the Mk1 Dials?

I was told it has one but can't find anything about it in the handbook, and i can't see one illuminate when the ignition is turned.

Thanks

Thought this was mk2 only?

Might sound daft but are you low on fuel? Because if your not its not going to show anyway :rofl:

I would assume its just under the clocks, but it never lights up. I've ran well into the red before, so much the needle barely even registers on the dial.

Maybe ive just not ran the petrol that low before. I've gone for ages in the red and the needle has barely registered. I just assume theres no warning light, get scared and fill up (usually after ive got about 280 miles from the tank)

Yeah its an orange light that's in the small box in-between the speedo and fuel gauge, if you have ever seen the 'srs' light it comes up next to that.

I don't think its working by the sounds of it as mine flickers depending on if i'm going up or down hill when in the red.

I've got my needle lower than that before and its not come on neiljm0.

Maybe i'll carry a couple of jerry cans in my car and run it till it comes on or until i run out :weirdo:

mine seems to be always on since fitting KN panel filter and ss cat back, but i suppose you dont get much fuel for your money these days.
