I have the same problem. The coolant level sensor is simply two prongs that get wet to make a closed circuit.
This then goes back to a module(relay) mounted under the dash behind and slightly to the left of the fuse box.
The output for this module is also linked with the traditional temp sensor.
I need to investigate further but I believe my problem is to do with module.
I have removed it so that I can now monitor the coolant temp and plan to install and rewire the output from the module to a separate indicator so that I have a better idea of what is going on with the coolant.
For you tech heads out there the output wire going from the module to the gauge is yellow/red, you will see that there is two going to the same terminal one goes to the gauge and the other is directly from the temp sensor.

I bought my t25 a month ago and had the same problem start this week – Panic! But it seems I had the same problem as you, so thanks very much for the post ;)

Oh, this one is easy to get at, because it is just sitting right on top of the coolant tank. So if it does fail, it won’t be any trouble to fit a new one…

Very common in older vehicles for this to happen.

Next up, the sensor will completely pack up. When that happens you will be up for about A$10 to buy a new one.

The hard part will be fitting it. Sometimes they are easy to get at, sometimes they are such a pain you need to pay a mechanic to do it for you.
