How do you know if your Bongo has a coolant alarm fitted?

How would I go about locating a coolant alarm if there is one fitted on our Bongo?
Might sound like a silly question but we have no engine know-how whatsoever.

If it's a low coolant alarm you will have a small LED display on the dash somewhere.
If it's a Mason alarm you'll probably have to have a look under the fascia or check the back of the instrument cluster to see if it's wired in.

A coolant alarm will have a sensor (screw) in the header tank if there is one fitted.

Hi,
You should hear Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep when you start the engine.
I loved that song.
