Yes, many times. The seder is in th top of the expansion tank. It may be sus. Pull the plug and bridge it with a paper clip. The light should go out. If this works the seder will need replacing. They are not cheap and don't seem to last. An after maket jobie may be best option. Look at the coolant level often ontil fixed. The Rangies don't like being cooked.

will do , thanks .

I inherited the same problem, on inspection the float on the sender was crumbling away and seemed to be waterlogged. I trimmed away about 1cm from the bottom of the float and cut a piece of a fishing float into a horse shoe shape and fitted it under the original float, it does not look pretty but it works. I would just make sure the sender is working first by manually holding up the float to see if the light goes out.
