If I were you I would get the rads changed sooner to make sure your engine is protectively cooled.

My only reasoning is that I wont really be using the car now until the spring but will get the job done :thumb:
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just out for a drive this morning and noticed the warning light was flashing as I drove off. Stopped for 5mins and it was off for the journey, next start up it's back on. Any advice from you good people?
According to my owners manual, the temperature light will flash if the coolant level is too low, or if there is a fault with the engine compartment blower fan :thumb:
Just to add to this - I'd also be querying why the coolant was low......
usual suspects are:
expansion tank (hairline crack)
faulty expansion tank cap (common fault)
Leaking radiators..... VERY common with all the crud that collects in the air dams.... (usually means new rads, and while you're there, do the AC condensors)
Mine was down to leaking rads....
Hope this helps

Hi Creation,
If I were you I would get the rads changed sooner to make sure your engine is protectively cooled.
When there's a leak in the cooling system, the pressure of the liquid drops and so does the boiling point of the coolant/antifreeze. Cooling systems are pressurised to raise the boiling point of the fluid to provide effective cooling. If the boiling point is lower, the coolant around the cylinder walls and heads will bubble boil at the hot surface, so will not effectively transfer heat to the flowing coolant in these areas which could be damaging.
With the boiling point being lower, you will not be aware of it on your temp gauge as it will show 'normal' temp.
Particularly for high performance engines, it is important the cooling system is kept in the best condition. I also suspect that the cold weather could 'find out' any imperfections in your rads.
