Red light is usually altenator not providing power isn't it? Check alt belt and the alternator itself. Although ususally the red light is on the speedo for this (?) |

I have two lights on the tacho, the other one is directly opposite. I think the one shown is alternator as you say but the other one is a mystery and I'd like conformation anyway. the instruments are the ones in my sunshine so should be standard clubbie 's' |

there is the two red lights. THe one on the left is alternator, one on the right is oil pressure. I did read somewhere that the standard alternators don't neccessarily charge at idle, so that red light will come on. Mine stays on until she gets a rev. Then it goes out and stays out. |

oil pressure makes sense, thanks! I was having a problem where the oil pressure light was staying on the the key out and the battery going flat, apparently not starting the car for 6 months is the cure as it seems to have fixed itself! |

early clubbies had 'Alt' and 'Oil' marked on those lights. For some reason Leyland stopped marking the lights (cost?) |
