    Default what's this warning light?

    just a bit ago when i was in traffic (not moving) i had a warning light come on looking like this

    Attachment 36911
    it's either oil or heat.
    the temp guage was a bit over a quarter which is usually as high as it gets, but if it's oil, the oil pressure guage was bouncing from 60 psi down to 40, when it normally bounces from 60 up to 80 psi

    it didn't stay on, just came on, made the beeps, then went away.

    That light is a very dangerous light, it means your car has sensed the presence of a nuclear powered submarine. The beeping was the missile locking onto you. It went away because you weren't driving a VL......

    The info supplied from me was from the hand book. Any thing else you need to know just ask away. Only too happy to help.

    I go through life wondering why the people around me stop and stare. Don't they talk back to the voices? What's wrong with my avatar?

    Actually, a while ago I came across a little gif that had 5 superheroes doing what looked like the hucklebuck. I wanted that as my avatar so I googled 'dancing superheroes' and I found that pic, I thought it was pretty cool and so thats the story behind my avatar.

    Ive come across that pic quite a few times, emails, forums, & google seems to have them with lots of different names. That pic goes with a video of them too from memory?

    It looks like the red one is holding on to his you-know-what. The outfits they are wearing dont help either. It creeps me out.
