Every 182 has one?

 

[TomEdwards]

Whaaaaaat?

Really?

Where?

Little green gear stick light flashes on dash

That's the "Your out of the powerband and about to hit the limit light" lol. But yeah, you will have one.

 

[tom172cup]

in the dash bottom right hand corner. or are you on about the massive ones to sit on the top dash

 

[George182]

Yup definitely have one!

I was talking about one that sits on top of the dash, but now I'm interested in this default flashing light people are talking about.

I'm going to check that out later.

Best gear change is just before the light flashes

 

[TomEdwards]

What about an aftermarket, dash one then?

 

[maty j]

Where do these get wired in to? I'm looking to fit one to the meg but there seems different types.

I have the light but it never comes on, even on the limiter!

 

[Shifty.]

Mines chipped and it comes on just before you hit the limiter, like fractions of a second

It isn't really a "shift" light as such, the default one which people are mentioning.

More a "change gear now before you hit the limiter" light.

so a shift light then

its in the worst possision if you ask me, and i think it should be able to beep or the likes of...

Ask in the Burpspeed project thread. They use a nice little one on their dash (as they don't use the stock one).

I don't know what it's called before you ask.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol I knew you wouldn't. You just get in and drive the thing lol!!

 

[jordan101]

i never recognized mine come on in my old 182 lol

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

It's not very obvious tbh, well I never found it to be.

Think the standard light goes under the name "Over Rev Warning Indicator" or something similar.

I fitted a sequential shift light to my 172 Cup but removed it after a week as it was very erratic. Mostly when slowing down it would flash like crazy, so returned it to the manufacturer. Dunno if it was just that particular type but it was basically no good. The manufacturer said they've had problems with them fitted to Clio's due to a weak signal? Dunno how true that is, but it does have two pulses from the coil so I'd imagine it would under read by half, but so long as it's just a shift light and not an RPM counter it should be fine. I'd imagine the Burpspeed car runs it's lights off its standalone management, not the original Renault ECU.
