Coolant level being displayed, when the level is ok.  I am assuming its the sensor.

get your finger in there (when cold)  and push float up and down a few times sometimes the float gets gunked up and stuck    also check the electrical connections under the bottle

Sensor is integral to the coolant bottle, they can be removed but often break!

Second hand is false economy, buy a brand new bottle from the dealer, around £35 on trade, are clear and look much better!

Just tried the finger waggling and found the electrical connection was completely detached - do you have to take the Air box/filter off to get underneath to put it back on?

I can't find enough room for fingers.

Any tips?

There is a metal clip which holds the header tank to the inner wing Matt.Prise that off then the tank can slide away from the inner wing giving more access.

Just remove the metal clip next to the wing and the header tank slides towards the engine before coming free - there should be enough slack in the water pipes to let you get to the bottom of it.

Far easier than removing the airbox!

Probably because the sensor is knackered
