Heater problems - Robin

The heater on my wife's punto is not working. It is a Y reg 1.2l model with about 42,000 miles on the clock. The car has just been serviced and has had the oil sump replaced (both 2 weeks ago). Not sure when the heater stopped working but the fan only blows cold air regardless of the temperature setting. Additionally when the fan has been on for a while the engine temperature warning light comes on. The water level in the reservoir was quite low when I checked it this evening. Coulsue be related?d the water level and heater is

Clearly it needs a vist to the garage but could the heater problems be related to the recent work? Is there simple fix I could do myself?
