slightly annoying problem with the coolant level light on my 24v. coolant level is fine, never moves or uses water. the light stays off most of the time, but if i go for a bit of a thrash on the motorway, after about 10 mins the light will come on. when i come off the motorway & slow down after 5 mins the light will go out. has anybody any idea what could cause this?

Mine did exactly the same thing for a month or so and then decided to stay on all the time - took it into Ford main dealer who discovered that the floatswitch was basically broken - they wanted £40 to replace it so I now drive with it on all the time - I know there's water in there and the engine never gets anywhere near the red so I left it.

Had the same problem on my old '91 scorpio,the float switch was magnetic and had picked up some rubbish which sometimes stopped it closing properly.
