I am borrowing a 2CV with an old style dash and the red waning light to the right of the speedo keeps coming on.

Also I was looking for a manual online so I didn't need to keep asking basic questions here!

Any ideas?

Cheers, Justin

Not sure what you mean by 'old style' but it could be the brake fluid level indicator.

If it is 'old style' meaning pre-1970 then I'd suggest charging light. If meaning a 2cv Special type dash then it could be brake fluid level warning or oil pressure warning, depending on light. They are all on the right of the speedo ;-)

by old style i mean the one older than my normal special, yes brake fluid makes sense, feels a little spongey, thanks all

Isn't your normal car a Charleston? Is this Eleanor's raid car?

It's a twisty knob dash. Probably brake test light?

do you mean to the right hand side of the speedo? i thought that was the oil pressure on them dash's? unless it comes on when you push the little button in? then that woluld make it the brake fluid warning light as already suggested!

turns out it is the break fluid level :)

So it's time to top up the brake fluid level, before something gets broken?

As well as checking for any leaks which could be responsible for that low fluid level, of course...
