UPDATED - Any potential new owner is in a position to determine final spec if they show an interest before the car is complete.

For a variety of reasons the time to sell my 7 has finally come.

The new paint is amazing and the car looks brand new. Price reduced to £19,750.00 but I'm looking to move it on quite quickly so there's a little room for discussion.

Indeed I do have one, from a 2016 car.

I think I have one. I’ll check tonight and get back to you.

I can’t believe you’re selling Mr H, end of an era mate! In all truth I don’t think it’ll be too long before I do the same. (Sad face emoji thing)

Or maybe you could just live with it safe in the knowledge it’s just a back feed and not a fault rather than mucking about and doing more harm?

Speak with CC or one of the good independent dealers, this is a well known issue. The odd thing is that it happens on some cars and not others. As I say, I had it on mine. Real time data can be obtained from the OBD port with Easymap but no fault codes although it might throw up a couple of dubious codes - this appears to not be unusual either. Have a look through past posts, this issue has been mentioned a few times.

The engine management light function on a UK Sigma car doesn’t work. An electrical back feed to the tacho can illuminate the light dimly. To be honest it was probably always on, you just never noticed. The ODB will give you real time data but there is no fault log or code system in the car. There is a modification to sort this if it bothers you - speak to Ian at PT Sports Cars, they sorted mine after getting the detail from CC.

A further tell tale is that the hazards will operate but indicators won't. The fuse and relay diagram provided above is useless, it's not relevant to your car and a complete red herring.

If this is a Sigma check the 7.5 amp fuse that looks after the speedo. The speed sensor can over heat, pop the fuse and the one fuse looks after all the instruments. Disconnect the speed sensor at the plug by the rear right wheel and chuck in a new fuse, if everything comes back to life there's your culprit, time to buy a new sensor and carry out the earthing modification.

S3 hood with cut out for side impact bar £60 + postage or offers.

Your car doesn't have a functional OBD port for faults. It will read real time data but will not provide fault codes that mean anything as it's a locked MBE ECU. Only Euro spec cars have one that functions in the way you'd expect. The light you can see is caused by a back feed through the tachometer causing dim illumination of the engine check lamp. There is NO check engine light function on a UK spec car other than the Suzuki powered 160. There is a modification to prevent it happening but on or not you've not got a fault. How do I know all this, I've just been through it all with my 2016 Sigma powered car. Be careful who you take advice from.

I'd be interested in the shift lights

BRG & Yellow S7 YEH spotted a lot recently in Dorset, mainly in the Milton Abbas area.

Did you get an answer / diagnosis on this?

Can I take the handbrake sleeve please?

From what I've learnt and been told by a man very much in the know - the chances of ECU failure or issue are incredibly remote but I'm glad you've tracked it to where you have. Guess your next move is to get your ECU to CC to have it checked and flashed with the latest map.

For an MOT you must have a center and off side mirror fitted.

Absolutely standard behaviour on a Sigma car. Both of mine have done it on tick over, a 2010 car and now my 2016 car.
