I shouldn't drive the missus' car.. keeps me in blissful ignorance...
but while Gerrard is off-sick, waiting for parts to get through the MOT, I'm out in Rasputin.
I've noticed an oddness with the engine temperature light. When the ignition is on, the light glows very faintly. When the console powers off, the light goes out completely.
Mechanically, the car runs fine and works like Fiat intended .. warms up quickly then stays planted to mid-temp'... so I'm sure this is just an electrical/earthing thing.
As an aside, the battery is in "great" condition and you wouldn't know there was anything wrong with it if the car was not a Stop-Starter. The beast's S&S doesn't cut the engine, so I guess the battery is either not as 100% as it seems, or it could be the wrong spec' (betteries for a S&S are more expensive and the previous owner(s) do seem to have scrimped in a few places).
But the battery isn't an issue, unless it's related. Has anyone fixed similar glowy light?
