What sort of checks will be carried out for a PCP contract?

Are there any criteria for a PCP contract with a new car? Do you have to give proof of income or credit history? My wife and I are self employed.

Thanks.

Why is my check coolant alarm on?

The check coolant alarm in my Skoda Roomster is coming on almost every time I start my car - ever since I got it serviced and had the timing belt and water pump replaced. The coolant tank is full, even when I check it from stone cold. What would this be caused by?
