The water-in-filter warning light is on on my dash.
Well, it starts off on (and doesn't go out after engine starts), but then after driving a bit it does go out, and then amusingly it flashes in antiphase with the indicators when they're going.
The engine is running lovely - fires up immediately and runs smoothly, and I've read on the internet that the water sensor can be a bit temperamental. So should I just ignore it as it's probably just being daft?
I've also read that the filter might have a drain plug on it, so I was thinking that it might be worth just draining off any water in case it is present? In which case, can anyone tell me how to do it?
I *think* I've found the filter - lurking behind the air filter bucket; grey cylinder, it does have what looks like a plastic wheel on the bottom of it... but didn't want to go unscrewing things without being sure.
It's a 1997 vintage, 2.5 TD.
Thanks for help and advice as ever
