I've recently bought a 2000 Saxo (1.1 engine) which has been fine for a week. My brother went out in it today for a coupke of hours and came back saying the temperature warning light was on. The car's been sat on the driveway all afternoon and the light hasn't gone off yet so there's obviously something wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cause or a solution other than take it to the garage?
On Friday I checked the oil and the coolant and they were both ok (if a little high). The only way I could see the coolant level though was to take the lid off and look in the top because the plastic reservoir was so grubby and I had trouble getting the cap back on. I got it back to how it was by pushing it down and twisting past the stops so it was on really tight - does anyone know if this was correct?
TIA peter
