Hi, we bought a bongo just over a week ago.since we have bought it we have had to get all break pads changed and 2 tyres.we also have two square like switches/lights that are next to the steering wheel, that have started to flash.one of the lights has a sybbol on it, the other has oil written in English.we do have the standard oil light on the dash to..at the moment the car is our local garage.we have looked through the English manual that we have and can find no symbols that are the same.i have spoken to a couple of bongo garages who have not heard of this light.they have said that it must have been fitted after sales in Japan.we are concerned what it does and why it has started to flash.does anyone have any idea what this does please..?please help

Petrol or diesel .. ??

Some petrol / LPG conversions use an upper cylinder lubricant system (similar to Flash lube) that flashes an LED if the U/C fluid gets low ..
