Light refers to pressure not quantity.
The switch switches to earth so make sure the wiring to the switch isn't compromised before looking further.

thanks, so again im wondering to give it its due because of the weather.
would that point be to a direction as to a head-gasket fail? or is it too soon for that?
the oil looks ok, the filler cap looks ok,
and again the car has been stood for around 8 months and had nothing but a new battery so far and passed its mot (waiting for a bit better weather before i go changing parts)
regarding above the car runs better once warm "still get some judders when i floor the peddle" so i am thinking that would mean the headgasket is fine as id expect it to run worse when hot??,
plan so far is new plugs leads and gearbox and engine oil change,
before looking into the coil pack replacement,
would you guys say thats about right?
is there a pressure test that a dealer could do if the head was causing the problems? ill be going to see alfatech next week once i sort out the mot for the other car, any questions i may have missed i could get them to check out?
