The low water warning light is for your windscreen washers.. not the radiator. Some water in the washer bottle should fix that up.
The overheating problem would probably be due to a stuck thermostat. Remove the thermostat altogether and see if that fixes your problem. If it does then go out and buy a thermostat for an L300. L300 thermostat opens up sooner than a Starion thermostat.

Are you serious about the low washer fluid light??
I was wondering why my washer fluid containter has a wire going into the bottom of it........

Yep.. there is no low radiator warning light but there is a low washer light. Go figure.
