- Summary
- COI synopsis: Prevention is better than cure... a simple early warning system can mean that trouble - or even disaster - can be averted. The cause of a high proportion of vehicle breakdowns lies somewhere in the complex wiring of the ignition system. A simple light display mounted on the dashboard allows the driver to diagnose any faults himself - and, most important, to see in advance where likely faults may develop.
