Coolant light

When my starter packed up last month it was the earth between the solenoid housing and the starter housing had corroded, get it off and clean it all up, remember to support the engine from below when you remove the bolts.

Thanks Jim, can the solenoid not be removed in situ, without taking the starter motor off?? there seem to be 3 splined allen heads holding the solenoid to the starter... but my splined sockets are too thick to reach while in situ.. is there any other tool I can use? allen keys would work but cant find the splined kind.

Try cleaning the terminals first. Disconnect the battery then take the power cables off and clean up the terminals with emery cloth.
Then smear some grease on them to stop corrosion
