Althought the dash layout has not changed in many years, I just wondered if all the warning lights are wired up throught the many different models. I have an 88 110 and have not had a warning light come on. Even when in diff lock, I have no indication on the dash. This is the one I really need to work as my 2 year old boy loves playing in the front and trying to change gear like me. I dont always check to see im not in diff lock so a wound up trans box could be iminent! What lights should I expect to work?
Cheers

Not every warning light is connected in every model, but as a minimum would expect:

Handbrake, ignition, oil, indicators, main beam, glowplugs, diff lock, rear fog lamp

Thanks Station House, exactly the answer I was hoping for. Just the handbrake, oil and diff lock lights to get working then.

though my hand brake light in my 1992 90 doesn't work - there's no wiring from the hand brake nor a sensor there.

I always assumed this meant it was never fitted? Or has a previous owner just removed it?

Not all models have the hand brake one fitted as standard, but they all have the brake fluid warning one

Would the switch for that be on or near the master cyl? and what does the warning light show up as?

Don't mean to hijack but I recently bought my first defender and noticed that it had no handbrake light, I was actually going to investigate tonight but if it doesnt have wiring and sensor for handbrake isnt that a MOT failure now or no light on the dash?
