Light (LED) does both things, over-temp and also the water level in the top tank (blue pressure cap) there will be a sender screwed into the tank, with a two-wire plug on it.

Genuine cap and genuine thermostat seem to be essential items from previous posts, and then a thorough bleed of the cooling system (no ramps required :wink: ) If the temp gauge was running at 7/8 in normal use then that should be a pointer to you to stop and get it fixed asap, or the inevitable will...
