Hi
Don't have a Handbook or Manual for my 1995 1.9D Estate
have a warning light on the Dashboard right hand side Amber in colour Looks a bit like a letter F usually goes out couple of seconds after start up.
but recently been staying on a bit longer flashes for about 30 secs then goes out. ?
The other thing The Sunroof again refuses now to tilt up has never slid back since I got the Car but now does nothing except make noises. Is their a way to get in to the workings o f it, Perhaps using A key to manually slide it open
?
Last question. Dashboard lights they come on go off as they see fit.
If i give the Dash a Bang their on hit a bump their off. what would be my best way to get to wherever the loose connection is ?
Thanks
for any replies
Regards
Ian.H

If the oil level light is anything like the Xantia one, they seem very sensitive to the use of synthetic and semi-synthetic oil and will often cry wolf when restarting a hot engine. I guess the oil is very thin and it gets the sensor confused.
They seem to work well enough on ordinary mineral oil though.

The oil pressure switch is on the back of the block, and the level switch on the front i think. The level switch has got a white base. Try taking it out and giving it a soak in petrol if the level seems ok otherwise.
The dash lights are probably controlled by a rheostat on the dash, its a littkle rotary wheel thats sets the brightness of the bulbs in the binnacle. You can tey turning it a few times either way to get the lights to come on or just keep banging the dash! Alternatively, it can be bypassed (take it out) and you will get full 12v to the lights at all times.
Not sure about the sunroof, they usually last pretty well. There is maybe a plastic cog that has past its best and lost its teeth. You can access the mechanism from behind the interior light/plip moduel. Best thing to do is just to replace the whole mechanism (sans motor) with one from the scrappy. Maybe a fiver?
