The coolant goes into the expansion tank. If you open the bonnet and look to the back/left as you're looking at it, you'll see a plastic bottle with a screw top lid.

DO NOT open the bottle if the engine has been running as it will be under pressure and could eject boiling water under pressure and you risk being scalded. Make sure the engine is cold before you open this bottle.

The coolant goes into this bottle (expansion tank) but needs to be filled to about half way. There is a marker on the bottle showing an upper limit and a lower limit, you need to fill it between these marks.

Do not overfill as you need to leave enough air in the tank/bottle to allow the coolant to expand when it gets hot. Liquid expands when it gets hot, hence why the tank is called the expansion tank.

The type of coolant you need depends upon the age of your vehicle. Consult with a qualified person or parts store to get the right type. Coolant is usually a 50/50 mix of coolant and water. You can buy your own coolant concentrate and mix with water or you can buy it already mixed which is more expensive. You need to use distilled water to mix with the coolant and not water from the tap, since the tap water may contain trace amounts of elements that might be corrosive to the engine.
