Knackered sensor in coolant tank. Can try pushing sensor up & down to rectify but invariably it`s a new tank from VX as sensor is incorporated within. Around £35

or you can try unclipping the tank and have a look at the electrical connection in the bottom  :y

Your best bet arrange a new sensor, fingers x'd should solve it!  :y

IIRC it's , virtually, impossible to change the sensor. As recommended, change the header tank. :y

just to let you all know, i had the same problem. the float sensor inside the header had broke free and gave me a constant coolant level warning on the MID. changed header tank from one from scrappy and all sorted now  ;)
