Perhaps this really isn't a problem at all, but I bought this MGF 1.8i a few weeks ago and read the handbook! So it may be a case of a little knowledge is dangerous!!
It says that the amber warning light should come on briefly when the ignition is turned on as a lamp check and then go off. Well, it doesn't.
As I had the intrument binacle off to fix the usual rattle issue, I decided to check the warning light bulb! The bulb is fine!
So, should I be concerned that this lamp doesn't light for test (but why test if it isn't important?), or has this been tampered with/sensors disconnected or something, for another reason?
