This might help? My R75 has the rear and front fogs as per this photo.

No help at all, mine displays/displayed the rears like yours and also the fronts on the message centre same as the rears but with the icon showing the light rays angled down, not as a light. It even had a message for front fogs on. Thinking back to when I last saw it and it was before I blew a front fog light bulb. Might be an un-related event though.

PAB, not saying what yours is like but I am sure what mine was like and if it ever works again I'll get a pic of it.

Here is a photoshopped pic to show you what I mean and give you an idea of what it looked like

Okenora what icon do you have in the lower display panel top right where Rik has his front fog lamp icon?

Not easy to see with it unlit but if you can get it in the right light you should be able to make it out.

IIRC there were different versions for different markets.

He might have a very early car (pre-production perhaps?) with a child-seat airbag icon. I seem to remember this coming up recently.

Yes, it is a child-seat airbag icon, but not a pre-production car afaik, VIN ends 153402, a Cowley car, 2000. It has had a replacement IPK in the past but the original IPK was the same.

Out of curiosity, was mine car 53402 made or 153402 or some other number ? Reason for asking is I didn't think they made much more than 20-25 thousand by the year 2000

Photo as an attachment as I think the other link will disappear.

Interesting! Didn't think the child-seat airbag lamp made it into production. Learnt something new.

Yours is car 53,402 in theory - cars were not built in exact VIN order, but it'll be pretty close.

child airbag light seems an odd thing to have as the car doesn't have any way to disable the passenger airbag, does it ?

but both IPK's here (faulty and replacement) have the light on them
