do you know what the warning light 3rd from left means (the ones that all come on with the ignition). It looks like a house, a rectangle with a chimney on top and vertical lines inside!? Is it an oil filter or a radiator. Answere please.

Kay,
Do you mean the third light from the RIGHT ? Third light from the left is the oil warning light but, the image which you describe, ie, the "house", third from the right, is the expansion tank coolant level indicator. When the engine is cold, check the level of the coolant in the white plastic expansion tank. There are (hard to see) markings on the side of this tank, indicating Maximum and Minimum levels. Top up with water, or antifreeze mix, to the "Max" level (This is about halfway up the tank). Also, top up the coolant at the radiator/filler cap at the same time.
When you pull the filler cap off the expansion tank, you will see a small hose hanging from this cap. This hose must always have it's bottom(Open)end, immersed in the expansion tank water, otherwise air will get sucked back into the main cooling system
