Default no CEL light??

Has anyone got a pic of what the management light looks like?
I think some plank has taken the bulb out on the back of the clocks to disguise and faults @ time of sale...SNEAKY!! I've never seen it on despite having solved all of the problems I have had, by process of elimination!

Ta people...

It should be illuminated below the water temp gauge.

z5 is the standard ecu for an early RA and as Spec'c'57 said they it should illuminate (along with oil pressure warning and a couple of others)
