do you want a level readout, or just a lamp to say its hi or low ?
I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,
but this jacket makes it impossible.

probes then would be best....
all the more industrial relays i use are 24volt plus which wont be much use to you

If you search ebay you will find various cheap industrial float switches from Hong Kong, Maplin and RS components will also sell them at a price.

one of the top two options.
some bmws have a switch similar to the plastic ones in some radiators. couldn't say which models. also washer bottles have sensors too. so many
options
