As for them being archaic DUR
they were designed nigh on 30 years ago - what do you expect 50nano metre circuitry?
Perhaps you should consider buying a newer car mate if a Mk3 Escort is too archaic for you
Have topped the water up, wasn't that low but has now turned off the water light.
Re-checked the oil level and it wasn't even on the dipstick.
As for the brake level light, it flashes for half a minute then goes off.
All other lights are now off.
As for having a newer car, I was having one of those moments many Rs owners have...... now got past that.
