isnt it coolant level, not temp that this measures ? sensor is probably knackered, quite common.

That is correct, it is a sensor for coolant level in the expansion tank.
Check that there is plenty of coolant in the expansion tank. If ok then just unplug the sensor, it is usually mounted on the side of the tank.
