A: red flashing light is the low water light you either have a knackered sensor or it is not connected ours is the same and never goes over 1/2 hot even in traffic so we just put up with it!

B: will check for you next time we have it uncovered.

C: Technicly it is a 5 speed box 1st is below reverse but is only really used if you are fully freighted.

A. The sensor light flashes when the coolant level becomes to low or when the coolant becomes too hot, (engine overheating)

B. Side and number plate lights 12v 4w

Headlight, probably (H4) 12v 60/55w. This is what I use.

C. As far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong) the LT first had a 4 speed box then a 5 speed box was brought into production. Couldn't tell you when it was changed over though.

I think one of the reasons that the LT has a low top speed, is in Germany, vehicles over 2.8 tons are limited to 80 k/ph. So again I am guessing that they went for more Torque rather than speed.
