The garuntee for Xbox owners with the red light problem has been extended to 3 years. my advice is to get in touch with microsoft and they will take your xbox and either repair it or give you a new one, as long as you haven't tampered with the microsoft seal (on the insides of the console).
Hope this helps and good luck
