Hi, jbrodie:

I can confirm that the light between the speedo & fuel gauge is definitely the overdrive warning light, as verified by reference to my 1800S owner's manual, (assuming you have original, unmodified equipment).

Have fun with the car!

Cheers,
VF.

Thank you VF and Tom for your help. I perfomed Tom's experiemnt and, sure enough, the car kicked into overdrive. It went down about 800-1000 RPM to circa 3000. O presume that is a healthy number....

BTW...I don't need to shop around for a manuel...as there is one posted on-line at:

I am having fun with the car...a wonderful machine!

Best Regards,

Jonathan
