oil level ok
coolant slightly low
have booked service next week - it's due anyway.
It's not going to blow up before then?

Have you checked your coolant bottle under the bonnet. It must be kept topped up with coolant between the minimum and maximum level. If you are worried ask at a garage, but remember your engine, even when just started, is burning petrol, diesel or even chip fat these days at extremely high temperatures, so it won`t take long for the engine it to heat up.

It may just be that the thermo-switch that kicks the fan in has become a bit enthusiastic. Probably not a problem if the gauges are reading okay, you're not losing coolant and the oil looks okay on the dipstick. Have your journeys become more stop-start etc? Trickling in slow traffic can warm things up surprisingly quickly.

It might be running a little lean causing it to heat up excessively, try using a higher grade of gasoline.

If all your gauge readings are normal, don't worry about it. It's thermostatically controlled and comes on whenever it's needed.
There is no problem.

always check your fluids when you notice something wrong. oil and water is primo. oil on the stick should be clean and dark, not black. water should be green like the green on this ask answer discover page.
