Coolant Level Sensor
Cooling system did not need to be drained, just syphoned out, and replaced with a new coolant tank. RPCF000160. With the optional warning modules, of either a piezo buzzer, or a warning light.
COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR
Having installed a coolant low level warning sensor into the old 200 several years ago, then transferred into the MG during 2010, its been trouble free over many years of service with a good safety feature. That will activate an instant audible warning alert soon as the coolant tank, should for any reason, start to drop to a level that is much more than below the coolants specified minimum safety mark.

Attempting to drill a hole in the original tank to accept the sensor, as already asked, is not really a good idea on a pressurised vessel such as the coolant tank, The parts needed for this project, were a replacement coolant tank.Part number RPCF000160, and a coolant reed sensor part number RPCJ000040. To complete the installation, both of the warning modules, are an easy fit so we chose to fit both of them.
In any event, a reasonable amount of coolant would still be in circulation, allowing time to park up and investigate. not relied upon as a fit and forget. Visual checks on coolant level, and hoses, are still carried out. Along with other routine vehicle checks and servicing This feature incorporates a manual activation test mode, by removing the coolant cap on a 'cold engine' and holding down the internal magnet.
