Just wondering if anyone can identify the switches i am unaware of. I know the middle yellow in the first pic is rear fog light, the middle green one in the second pic im thinking is rear de mister..... im hoping at least one of the other two will be oil streak or nails. Also the EXH??? I use none of these ever, i was wondering if they may change my life in anyway.

red switch is to test the brake fail globe not to test the brakes. If the globe lights up when you press this switch, you know the brake fail circuit is working.

Other switches look like foglight, rear demister and hazards

My rover has these, all above posts are correct. And I think (could be wrong) that the exh light has something to do with the catalytic converter. Mines never lit up... so win?!
