I Have looked through threads in relation to the coolant level warning going off.

I have removed the sensor, cleaned it and put it back in.
It looks in good condition as its only two years old.

Level of coolant is fine, red coolant only used.

Warning light still comes up, does anyone have any other suggestions.

My next thing is to replace the radiator cap and do a full flush.

First, disconnect the sensor and see if the warning stops. If so, then the sensor would appear to be the problem. You can just leave it unplugged if you like, late model V8's don't have the sensor any more.

Peter,
I disconnected the sensor and no warning, took it for a drive and piece and quite yay.
The sensor is only two years old, oh well.
All problems fixed, for now.
