Stripped it all out and low and behold, no red nail varnish :( also found out someone removed the engine management light bulb and put it in the airbag light. I dont even have airbags

Haha think they are just a standard design for all the models which do and don't have airbags

Mine has the bulbs missing for things that dont apply to my car. So it look like someone took the EML bulb out and put it in the airbag section next to it

Ye sometimes they do it if the eml light goes in and they want to pass mot with it off and they don't loose the bulb that way

So far so good :D the sheet of paper stops it hitting the stop pin so can just paint it all at once :)
