should it stay on till it gets warm, does it mean it needs more oil?

I find with one of these vehicles (4x4 that is), if you have no history on the motor, a service on it and check all oil levels underneath is a prudent thing to do (ie air, oil and fuel filter change), changing any axle/gearbox/transfer box/front hubs oils if they look a bit iffy

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Might just be the switch is knackered or the wire is earthing.  Unplug the wire to the sensor on the gearbox oil cooling rad (I think its on there) and see if the light goes out.  If it does (while the gearbox is cool) then the switch is knackered.  If its still on then the wire is shorting out somewhere on the body or chassis.
