Getting there, Once the snow cleared i did the first proper deep clean so looking much smarter now with a good coat of wax leaving it all nice and beady, new head unit & rear camera are in, new yellow leather gaitors are in, clearcoat is currently drying on some yellow interior trim in the living room, new tail lights are on with full LEDs, white interior LEDs done and i'm currently figuring out a direction for the wheels, might be going down the ultralight route instead of powder coating the existing ones... amusingly/horrifyingly depending on perspective the front tyres are date coded 2010, so needless to say they're going in the bin.
Admittedly this might all seem a bit "low budget Max Power magazine" but it's worth remembering i was somewhere around 18-21 when i first wanted a TF so it's definitely bringing that side of me out.

I would be the last person to advise against a low coolant sensor from our renown bassist, but do ensure your car requires one. If you feel under the header tank & you find a cable & connector, you already have a factory fitted unit.
If you disconnect the plug (depress the clip & hope for the best), the next bit is a “I can’t remember which way to test situation” but it’s either going to indicate when open circuit, or by shorting the connections the warning will show.
This will prove the system, you might need someone to check the dashboard lights whilst you fiddle.
Can anyone help with the open/short circuit conundrum, or maybe “Out Kid” could fill us in, once verified.

Somebody mentioned that if you have the hazard warning light on the instrument cluster (rather than just the indicator symbols) then you don't have the coolant alarm (as that's where they put the coolant warning light) so suspect that's the case, i'll have a grope around under the tank though when i get a moment to double check.

On OEM low coolant alarm you need to make short circuit from black to green/black wire in order to trigger the dash light.
