Do you have a tickford or high series cluster? I didn't think the standard cluster had gear position display, the only 'D' i could see on it would be part of the DTE display.

The D is for drive. XR's and T series have them in their clusters. Didn't know Futuras did too.

Unless a high series cluster was installed at a later date.

could it be a wiring mixup from low to high series, and meant to illuminate the spanner for service instead of a "D", or even a low water light....
How many K's have you done?
