    Question Just bought a vr ss

    hey guys FINALLY baught my first 5 litre, pretty decent car, vr ss commodore, picked it up pretty cheap, only prolems are i need to replace the power steering pump as it leaks and pretty well out, the paint is pretty decent, interior is clean (will post pics soon)

    Only main problem i cant work out atm is when i put my brakes on, the whole dash lights up, if anyone could point a few problem points, ill be able to look at it after work tomorrow.

    Cheers.

    the reason your dash lights up is because someone put a wrong bulb in one of the taillights. look at your brake/night light is usually the best place to start it should be dual filament not single. if it still lights up then take to an auto electrician
