heater light?
do you mean the oil temp light or the heater light underneath where the radio goes?
Oil temp id check the obvious like oil level, then check sensor wiring.
Or faulty diadode in dash?
Bit clearer info would help

its not necessarily the temp light

could be the low level switch in your expansion bottle,

IF you have a connector in the Expansion tank, disconnect it, then BRIDGE the 2 plugs, if the light goes out, its new expansion tank, if not, ooops

and save you RACING  :rolleyes: to a new thread, they are avaliable from GSF  :wink:
