It's telling you 2 things ... 1) that it's low on coolant in the header tank ... AND 2) that you need to buy a Haynes manual.

More info on when its starts flashing are needed but the first and easiest check is the coolant level in the header tank (the one with a connector and wires on top). Should be full to the Brim. If OK we can take it from there.......

The red light is to indicate the water level in the secound tank if light is flashing low water
it should flash when u fisrt start it is checking the level when it see enough it goes out if it keeps flashing low water there a black sensor on the tank hope this helps

i would also cheal that the cap on the water tank is working propeerly. take it off when the engine is cold. and give it a blow and a suck. you should only be able to blow or suck one way, had the same problem on mine and a new cap fixed it.

First job ... check header tank (in engine bay) is full to the brim and top-up tank (behind catflap) is on 'max'. If that's all OK then you have other issues, either a wire off or a failed sender unit.

If you haven't been checking the fluids before it's time to buy that Haynes and start being a responsible owner.

Do we have to treat you like we would a small child who has no manners ?

You seem to expect people to help you without any please or thanks. You did (belatedly) add a thanks to me but as Rozzo pointed out elsewhere we appreciate manners here. We all get stuck and occasionally appreciate a hand or 3 but this club's all about give and take, what goes around ..... etc.

You need to buy a manual of some sort and sharpish ... or learn manners.
