On my 16v thats the coolant warning light. It flashes when coolant levels are low or its overheating.
Most common fault is faulty wiring in the expansion tank. Have a search, as theres been loads of instances of this lately.

aha, pre-90 white dials on a set of post 90 clocks, pre 90s have the low level/overheat light in the temp gauge, post 90s have it in the middle of the top row of leds. White dial kit just dosent have the temp logo on it.
