What decent diesel suits a young driver?

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?
