Thanks for the reply.
Yes, it's a RHD model, I'm in Cyprus.
There seemed a hell of a lot of liquid so a lot of panic as I'd never seen the cooling system light flash before (and I can't remember what it usually showed on start up) and even when I've left the car in the drive for days, the oil countdown has only ever been about 6 seconds.

I'll check the part number tomorrow when I go back to the car
The car is parked just outside where I work. Fortunately, I was able to walk and get my work car to drive home.
It's about a 8 mile drive to the garage in one direction or 12 mile home in the other!
Can it make a trip or will it require fixing first?
Think for safety if I can move it I'll risk driving it to the garage and have the MOT redone as well as it expires early Feb anyway.
Is there anything to keep an eye on while I'm driving it in case it gets worse?
