Ice warning light

Went out in the scorp when it was rather cold a few days ago. The amber ice light was on, it must have got a bit colder as there was a single bong and I noticed the red light had come on. I have had the car over 15 years and not had that happen or was the bong for something else. I have resoldered the dash recently and I think more things light up now.

You've obviously fixed something. The bong comes with the red light to warn you when it goes down to zero.

Yes you obviously fixed something. The amber and red lights are explained in the driver's handbook but curiously the warning "bong" is not mentioned, but neither is it mentioned when the trip computer changes to warn you that the remaining fuel gives a range of 50 miles (or 25, or 10 or 0 miles.)

The trip computer gives 5 annoying beeps on 50 & 25 miles left on mine, never go to 10 miles as I dont want to run out.
