I don't recall a coolant level checker from my early Si, it just had the normal gauges, Revs, Speed, Temp, Fuel, Oil level.

so oil level ..backlit gauge thing.....oil pressure ....the needle that pops up and back to rest.

Ha ! Jim a confession.... Mk1 dashes are superior!

NO OIL PRESSURE GUAGE!

Just oil pressure LIGHT! and oil level guage...

One day this will sink in! So the light is pressure, the gauge ...oil level.

Good. sorted. That all makes perfect sense, I think!

Yaay.... It lights up to get your attention... oil level is rather important for a long engine life..

YES...Got it!!!!!

that is a very obvious point Paul. d'oh!

No. When the gauge illuminates, it is reading the oil level.

There is no visible oil pressure warning unless oil pressure is lost, at which point the dot matrix says low oil pressure, the main warning cluster illuminates the STOP light.

I know I just wish there was an S1 ES9 V6.. Trouble is, the engine and gearbox I love so much is just not available with the dash I love
