The sensor is built into the header tank. They aren't expensive (less than £40 IIRC) and you will end up with a nice clear/white one rather than one which has faded/yellowed with age.

You can prove the float switch is faulty - unplug the connector (underneath the tank), by bridging the two connectors with a spare bit of wire you should be able to get the coolant message to come on/off at will.

Danny, I'm pretty sure I've got a header tank with a working sensor (I can check at the weekend if you like?) but I tend to agree with Robert.  I bought a new tank from Vxl for mine, and it really smartened up the engine bay.  IIRC it was about 30 quid on trade club.  :y
