here

the micrososft article about it.

turn it off for a bit just in case it has overheated etc... if not call up and get a new xbox!(well reconditioned or repaired...)

This is taken from the official forum;
38. What does it mean when the light on the front of my Xbox is flashing a color that includes red?

Your Xbox has an internal problem, and will need to be repaired. Please continue to the bottom of the page to the section on getting official Xbox support.

As for the number ...try this : 0800 587 1102

Apparantly some of the faults are supposed to be down to poor ventilation so if you have it in a corner surrounded by stuff it may overheat and get knackered
