On my 3.2 I keep getting a message low coolant level. I've checked the level and it's OK. Where is the sensor so l can check it? Thanks .

Bottom of expansion bottle. The sensor will be shagged.

New bottle with sensor is around £25 +VAT from dealer, though normally not a stock item at Kidlington.

Its a float inside the header tank ... give it a jiggle with a finger .. probably won't make any difference as they are known to fail. New header tank around £40.00 from a dealer if memory serves ..

Beaten to it ..

To prove its the sensor, not the loom, lift bottle slightly, unplug, and short out both wires on the loom plug with a paperclip.  If that cures it, then its the sensor.

Thanks, I'll have a look. It may be stuck as it not warning me constantly.

Just to manage your expectations, unless you have really abused the coolant (or had a major oil cooler fault), it will always need new bottle to resolve.
