Where do I top up the coolant on my Peugeot 205?

My engine coolant warning light is coming on intermittantly and I would like to top it up, unfortunately I've lost the owners manual.

I looked under the bonnet, there is a largish (approx 2 litre) translucent bottle at the back of the engine on the right, with a yellow top. Could this be it?

From the front of the car facing backwards it is in the far right corner. It will have a metal top which when removed will have 2 opposite sides to locate in the reservoir. There will also be a narrow tube near the top to allow any fluid to be released if the pressure exceeds the rating of the cap.

Release it anticlockwise (about 1/2 turn) and you will see a red sleeve inside. Fill between top & bottom of this sleeve.

There will probably be like a big plastic nut to the left of the filler cap which has 2 wires - this will be the level warning switch.
