Looking for advice , have a 2000 WH Statesman with the V6 Supercharged motor. Recently the Engine Warning light and abs + airbag lights have been coming on (even the oil warning on occasion) and the steering seems to go heavy ?? Today the temp gauge stopped reading anything so i dropped the water out of the system (Prev owner seems to have had it just with water and a little brown). Have refilled it with red coolant (diluted), took about 8 litres and the lights seem to be off, albeit i have not taken it for a decent run.
Has anyone had similar issues or can advise on any other area's i should be looking at?
Cheers

Sound like the typical faulty ABS Module, very common. Unplug the ABS Module and see if the other warning lights disappear.

as temp gauge is also involved , it could be alternator regulator overcharging
but as accentstencil said abs is the most common cause
but he only gets one like, even if he posts twice

I didn't realise that I posted twice, it was early morning, coffee hadn't kicked in yet.:D

Thought I'd post an update , mainly for any others with a similar problem. I ordered the Module and it finally arrived , installed yesterday (surprised myself) and it's working a treat. Son took the car to Perth last night (about 300km) and not a problem.
Wanted to say thank you for your help, so happy it's all sorted. Great forum and a huge help.
