Yes . Give that man a prize . The Riley version was the the Elf , which had a full walnut dash . The Wolseley and Riley brands were discontinued after the Wolseley 2200 four door saloon in the early 70's , another badge engineered version of the Princess wedge shaped Austin / Morris cars . The 2200 had a silky smooth chain driven OHC 6cyl engine with loads of low down grunt .
Yes , the badge on the grille was illuminated. Wolseley used to advertise that it was the only car with its name in lights . I used to own a Wolseley Hornet mk 3 ( a Mini with a boot ,to all who don't know what one is ) back in the seventies, went all over in it and loved it to bits . Heinz ran a competition back in the sixties and there were about 50 Crayford convertible Hornet's up for grabs . There are still a few on the register and will be worth a few bob now .
I was out and about this morning ( sadly not in the TF) and passed this former gem from the BMC stable . Badge engineered from the 'Landcrab' 1800 / 2200 series , a rather sorry looking Wolseley 18.85 just begging to be restored. Judging from the amount of road muck underneath it has been there for ages . Shame as these were a great drive .

Hi Nigel.
I had this on my MG ZR which was pektron and is the same as the Streetwise . It never worked from new and it never really bothered me . Saying that , my TF did this until I sent the BCU away to be sorted along with my fobs . When they came back I could only manage to get the EKA to release the Imobiliser by changing the code using Pscan . I now have a code that doesn't require as many key inputs / turns in the lock .
I checked the micro switches (which are not in the barrel ) that are in the locking latch and they were ok . Not sure this really helps you but if you give Technozen a call ( Paul) might be able to give you better advice .
