Sometimes the light just jumps up and down, the motor won't settle - last owner had unplugged it. It's one of those annoying things that I don't really notice when I drive it so it's gone to the bottom of the list. Doesn't do it all the time, and I never bothered to try work out what it was.

Update new brake line fitted!
Slush puppy coolant over the cold snap, made the truck over heat so a quick drain out of 1 liter of coolant topped but up with 1L on neat old school blue wont happen again
I also removed the back seats today ready to board it all out for tool storage.
