Can anyone give me a picture of all the warning lights on a 1997 xantia hatchback petrol model as one of the lights has started to flash when i turn the ignition on it is a yellow symbol and it is the light right next to the speedo next to the battery warning and above the oil warning.the light stops flashing after car starts but it as only just started to happen any help would be great thanks

Sounds as though it is the engine oil level light.When it detects low engine oil,the light will flash for about 10 secs when the car is started.Mine does this every now & then,even though the dip stick level reads correct.

Defo the engine oil level.According to my hand book for `97,the lights are as follows,
top left to right,brake pad wear,yellow,
abs yellow,battery red,low engine oil level yellow,
bottom left to right,
engine diagnosis yellow,
hyd press and level red,
STOP red,
engine oil red.
You`ll find that if you top up the oil,maybe only a small cup full,that the light should go out.
Hope this helps
