right whilst driving about in my fd....i noticed that the coolant light and the oil pressure lights were on at a dim brightness...but once i excelerated they stopped coming on and when i de-excelerated they came back on!! its a starnge one to me as i have never seen this before. its just started to happen since i filled up my tank!

easy to replace, pay about 80 quid for a second hand one i think and it takes about 30 mins to replace the first time you do it.
