Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / February 2006Peugeot STOP light
Hi, Just bought a Peugeot 306 1.4, when I turn the ignition on the STOP light appears but this disappears when the engine starts, is this normal ? > Hi, Just bought a Peugeot 306 1.4, when I turn the ignition on the STOP > light appears but this disappears when the engine starts, is this normal ? Completely normal. It is a bulb check. -- Stuart >>Hi, Just bought a Peugeot 306 1.4, when I turn the ignition on the STOP >>light appears but this disappears when the engine starts, is this normal ?

Bloody hell, didn't you do a driving test? When you learn to drive they teach you to put the key up to the point before ignition to check that all the lights work. >>>> Hi, Just bought a Peugeot 306 1.4, when I turn the ignition on the >>>> STOP light appears but this disappears when the engine starts, is [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Ahh thanks for that guys. > Bloody hell, didn't you do a driving test? > > When you learn to drive they teach you to put the key up to the point before > ignition to check that all the lights work. Which decade was that? ;) I learnt in 1997 and never had anything like that mentioned.

I learnt all that just by sitting in my Dads car way before I was even a teenager. -- Stuart >>>Bloody hell, didn't you do a driving test? >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > -- > Stuart Yeah, same here - that diagnostic lights are there for a reason, and worth checking to be okay etc - but certainly nothing was ever specified during my teaching that you should do that. Of course, they've since now added the requirement to do some maintenance questions in the test I believe - maybe they've added such things into the teaching now.

When some of us learnt to drive there was only one warning light fitted on cars, a red one, and if that came on you knew that their was no current coming from the dynamo (yes dynamo). We didn't have any of these new fangled flashing indicators either. Posher cars had a little semaphore arm that popped out to point in the direction you were turning, on cheaper ones the drivers arm did it all out of the window.

LOL, thats one of the first things I remember. The trafficators on my Dads Morris Traveller. -- Stuart >> When some of us learnt to drive there was only one warning light fitted >> on cars, a red one, and if that came on you knew that their was no [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > LOL, thats one of the first things I remember.

The right hand one stuck so to turn right you pushed the switch over, leaned back, thumped the door pillar and then executed the turn.

The joys of motoring :o) The Pommy cars sold down under were fitted with trafficators also some of the European cars had them as well. I remember VW and Peugeot being fitted with them. I never used trafficators but taught to stick one arm to indicate turning , stopping plus givening the occasional two finger salute. In later years the flashing amber lights arrived and some smart backyard mechnic would wirer them into the trafficator circuit save fitting the turning arm switch if it worked you got the turning lights flashing plus the trafficator arm poping out in most cases it never worked properly.

We didn't have one of those, grasshopper, we had an oil pressure gauge instead. ;-) Ron Robinson <snip /> > Yeah, same here - that diagnostic lights are there for a reason, and > worth checking to be okay etc - but certainly nothing was ever specified [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > maintenance questions in the test I believe - maybe they've added such > things into the teaching now. I passed my test in 2004, and it wasn't in the maintenance section then. You overestimate the standard required to pass this part of the test. (e.g., you don't have to open the bonnet of the car yourself. Someone else can do it for you if you prefer) Sean > I passed my test in 2004, and it wasn't in the maintenance section then. > You overestimate the standard required to pass this part of the test. > (e.g., you don't have to open the bonnet of the car yourself.

It's hardly a test. 2 questions, only one of which you only have to verbalise. The first one isn't exactly rocket science - 'show me how you would switch on the lights'. Yes, they're that basic. All you need to know to pass it is how to check the various fluid levels and where a couple of buttons are. An no, I wouldn't have known the answer to the OP's question either - it's probably in the manual though. Tony > It's hardly a test. 2 questions, only one of which you only have to > verbalise.

Now I know why I see cars (other than Volvos) with their lights on in broad daylight. There's no "show me how you switch OFF the [fog] lights?" question. -- sA > > It's hardly a test. 2 questions, only one of which you only have to > > verbalise.

Nope.. :P All the questions are listed here: http://www.learnerstuff.co.uk/driving-test/show-me-tell-me-questions.htm Even if you get both questions wrong it's only a minor fault - so it's quite possible to pass not knowing how to open the bonnet... Tony What are you on about here? when I passed my test in 1977 the 'most important dash lights' were OIL, BATTERY and HANDBRAKE I would think it not much different this day and age - how on earth can you expect the driving instructors to know about all the lights that appear on modern cars.
