    No. However the engine management light is permanently on , which is another issue we're trying to sort.

      Does the ABS light come on on initial key-on?

        Yes - bottom left of display, orange ABS in a circle with another broken circle round it.

            So light is there on key-up but doesn't come on during previously described test.

            Test I outlined is for suspect brake switch (don't let operational brake lights fool you - the switch has duplicated contacts) which when goosed prevents normal gear selection of 1st and reverse. Very odd though that the dash light doesn't illuminate on first brake application.

            If gear selection problem persists but gears can be selected via across and forward method. I'd replace the switch (common failure) and warn you that you may be driving without any of the electronic safety systems (ABS, ESP, etc). Take care.

              Ok! I'll replace that then see what we get. I'll heed your warning and be cautious. It's previous owner was a bit of a bodger.
