Sorry i just realised the low water light is in fact the low oil warning light but the oil is up to the max line on dip stick ????

The oil warning light shows oil pressure, not quantity of oil. Ususaly when there is enough oil and lihght comes, problem is in oil pump.

Does your oil look OK no frothing as if it has water in it? If you see this suspect head gasket blown.

If that is Ok. It could be a wiring fault.

Oil is clean no signs of frothing or contamination at all shame i cant get a workshop manual for this car it would make life a bit easier
