hi just a little question about the red speed light that lights up at 55mph on my mc16 dash.
does it alter the ignition or anything when it reaches that speed or is it just there to annoy you?
is there a way to remove it from play other than a bit of black tape?

thanks

Could you not just take the bulb out ????

there is that just not sure whether the bulb is required to complete a circuit in the ignition system.

Can't think so, or you'd be buggered if the bulb blew. Take it out and see!

No it doesn't effect the ign timing, all the ealry 400's had them fitted. It was just there to annoy!
