1. Whats the (P) light on the dash?

I'm pretty sure the (P) will be parking brake. Assuming that the (!) is for Traction Control. Otherwise it might be to say you are in Park in the gearbox (assuming you don't have a manual)

1. Whats the (P) light on the dash? Handbrake warning light - if it doesnt work check the wire that attaches to the handbrake under the little cover in the centre console, it will probably have fallen off

2. Do I need to use any sealant / product to seal the new window seals I put in? Dont think so.. but someone else will be able to confirm this

3. anyone got a bonnet badge in good nick they want to hook me up with? $10? Try a wrecker or trade me

edit: I have a bentleys manual, will check tonight for you if no one else has answered by then.

I thought it was the park brake too but its on when the park brake is off.

(!) is for oil pressure.

Its a manual, so cant be P for Park.

cheers anyway

(P) is to show park brake is engaged

Assuming that the (!) is for Traction Control.

On an E30??!!! Somehow I don't think so.

Haha

(P) is park brake.

(!) is brake hydraulics, should go out when engine is started. If it comes on, check brake fluid.

Also, the ( ) between the two is to show brake pads low.

(P) - handbrake is on, or wire has come off handbrake light switch on brake lever.

(O) Brake pad/lning wear lamp.

(i) is brake fluid level

(oil can) Oil pressure warning

Good luck finding a good condition badge for $10.

(!) Oil pressure warning

Huh?????

[tire 10]

The (!) is not the problem! Geez. And I'm pretty sure its oil pressure mr Kale.

Must be the handbrake switch then. It doesn't look disconnected but meh I'll have a fiddle.

1 down, 3 to go

The oil can is the light for oil pressure warning, so can't be (!) as well.

[bravo 35]

Huh?????

Sorry, missed a line with the typing, realised and was editing while you were replying - man can't make a mistake around here or you get pulled up fast!!!!

BTW it goes off by itself when engine is started, not when you press the pedal.

So badge and (P) light are sorted... any ideas on floor mat and window seals?

The factory floor mat has a hole for the turny clip to go into to lock into place.

Not trying to be a smartarse, but a tiny bit of thinking outside the square would help if you clip is missing.

For example you can buy that non skid stuff that you put under carpets, i'm sure that would help.

[Eagle 1662]

I assume they are factory mates?. Mine are stock ones and dont have any slip, my seating position the back on the mat tucks under the seat forward\back adjustment nicely and holds it in easy.

[kiwi535 538]

re the mats max,proper crs have screws which go into the existing carpet,sound deadening and have clips on the top to fit into the eyelets on the mat.....

[BM WORLD 1283]

i have some of the factory mat screw thingy's
