Commas, full stops and capital letters all help you to be understood :?

OK, which orange light comes on?

Why do you want to remove the orange light? - Fix it instead!

What metal strip? One on the dials PCB?

OK, N/As had oil level sensor in sump. Unplug it and light will come on.

Since you have no sensor, light will always be on.

Remove bulb. :thumleft:

Thanks that's something new I've learnt today :) That's blooming stupid! My Supra has an oil level warning just assumed the MR2 would as well..... goes off to double check the oil level!
