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.

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

And I bet that gave a you a few days of worry until you figured it out. I know mine did - buggered if I knew what was wrong.
