It is low coolant warning light. However it is very commen for them to malfunction and come on when the collant is not low. Check coolant level and if it is not low ignore it. The sencor is in the header tank.

probably crap in the tank.

remove it and clean the tank out

That is what it will be,you can replace the sensor as the plastic float becomes brittle and cracks and fills with water so yours is probably on its way out or already gone.

That seems a drastic fix.

Just dump it into a 2 litre icecream container or such and add a bit of antifreeze to dilute it a bit, slurry it up to the right consistency with a stick (may require a few more dribbles of antifreeze) and then tip it in lol

But in reality some of the more sensible suggestions above may be more appropriate.

But you still need a funnel of some sort.

Squeeze it in with one of those cake icing decorating things.
