The two red lights inbetween the fuel gauge, oil pressure, and water temperature.

The one on the left is the low fuel pressure light. It's sender is located on top of the front filter assembly on the intake side fender well of the engine bay. It only lights up when you get less than 7 psi of fuel pressure or so. It should light up on start up and go out.

The one on the right is the low oil pressure light. It's sender is located next to the dip stick beneath the exhaust manifold.

You can ground both wires out at the sender to test your light bulbs and wiring.

The green light is the low beam head light/parking light
The blue light is the high beam head light

OK. None of these lights have EVER come on since I've owned the car. I presume there's a master connection/fuse covering the four of them which is broken somewhere.

Exhaust Temp....I have no idea where that was....as mine is long gone and I pulled the bulb.

Brake light indicates low brake fluid in the master cylinder chambers. If you look at the top of your brake master you will see two places, each with a pair of wires. Could be low brake fluid turning it on.......but...if those wires touch where they plug in, your light comes on. So make sure they are going to their individual posts and not rubbing against each other.

Throttle light is probably the other one coming on. Make sure you seat the throttle lever all the way in.
Yep, throttle light is the other one, you're right. I'm sure I pushed the throttle lever (the one below the console) all the way in, but I'll check. The PO said these three lights had always been on for as long as he'd owned the car, so I suspect again there's some common fault making them all come on at the same time.

Thanks John.
