It is the heater plug (Glow plug) symbol but why it should come on whilst the engine is running I don’t know

LOL Amelia’s comment is hilarious and for the second time today I have spat green tea infused with mint all over my keyboard!!!!

In regards to the light flashing on your dash for some odd reason I’m reminded of Douglas Adams and the black spaceship whose lights and dials were all in black so you couldn’t tell if they were flashing against the black dashboard.

I just got a new car a few months ago, and I still don’t know what all the controls mean. It didn’t just come with a small booklet of instructions either….it came with a NOTEBOOK containing SEVERAL booklets. I would need to take a course in this car to ever understand it all. Oh, and it came from across the pond. Traa Laa Laaa!

That’s a pretty good drawing. I wonder what would have happened if you had spent as much time looking up the answer as you did drawing the picture?

Oh, no need to say it – I already know I’m a smartass.

Flashing light on the dashboard ?

Ignore them, I always do, eventually they stop flashing, usually after the car has had its annual service.

On the other hand, its impossible to destroy a Nissan.

from our point of view, if you take it upon yourself to pack your own groceries, you’re left with the guilt of taking the job of a sixteen year old who’s trying to earn money for college. i’m sure you would get a very similar reaction to what you witnessed! “what?! so, i’m not worthy of touching your mustard? i hope your bag splits open in the parking lot because you’ve chosen to cram a carton of milk, a jar of speghetti sauce AND a dozen eggs in that flimsy bag. idiot.”

That fact that i am a man, and don’t know what a glow plug is…makes me feel bad…but it also looks like a shock or spring lying on its side…Who knows…don’t you dare consult a manual…it is against the male code of conduct :)

Instruction Manuals are referred to in this house as ‘Destruction Manuals’ as after a very cursory reading – the kind of reading you can do in the time it takes to take the plastic wrapper off the manual though why it has to be wrapped in plastic I have no idea, Pandy will pronounce gleefully ‘oh look it can do……’ only to look crestfallen five minutes later saying ‘oh no it can’t’.

That’s how the Yanks were able to bail you out of WW2, see.

Less time packing groceries, more time winning the war.

Ah ha – I might know the answer to this (this is the only time I’ve said that about a car related question!) We bought a new (to us) car recently and not long after a similar looking light flashed up. Next time we were in the car it disappeared and came on intermittently. Is your car a diesel? It could be the glow plugs. As it turned out, we didn’t actually need to replace them, something to do with a fault with VW’s that it flashes up occassionally, but doesn’t actually mean it. Maybe that’s the answer?!
