Took my disco 1 300TDi for a run of about 14 miles today and at some point a red warning light came on in the top left of the dash. It looks like a small 'thermostat' in a wheel or cog or something. I got home ok but don't have a manual and can't seem to think what this light means. Anyone help?
 
Just had a look in the owners handbook included with RAVE, and this is what it says for your warning light.

Transmission oil temperature
- RED
Illumination indicates that
gearbox oil temperature is high (most likely to
occur in very hot weather during continuous
high speed driving, or whilst towing heavy
loads on steep inclines, or if the parking brake
been accidentally applied while driving).
If the light illuminates, reduce speed. If the
light remains on, stop the vehicle and do not
drive until it has extinguished.
 
Thanks Erazmus. Not too hot today - about 20 degrees and no towing either. I don't think the parking brake became applied at any point by mistake so will have to keep a beady eye on it and maybe check the sensor.
