Right guys got my car back and im running in the new engine. Everythings going fine no probs at all except my chech control computer (overhead one) keeps telling me to check the coolant (which i have and is fine/ perfect running temp) and then a few minutes later to check washer fluid levels. Its not a major problem but im keeping an eye on levels like a hawk to make sure alls well and this is keeps getting me paranoid!

Is it the sensors or a loose wire (ive had a push about on wires to make sure there on) or what? Are the too conected at the same block?

Sorry might seem real easy to most to fix most but im still a bit of a novice when it comes to getting my hands dirty with me pride and joy.

washer bottle, check the sensor hasnt moved round. its on a hinge and if rotated hangs half cocked and constantly reads weird (especially after a sharp corner)

coolant sensor, not sure but if u wire it up backwards then full is empty and empty is full? this is only a guess but i have heard that there are 2 sensor types, and one reads opposite to the other
