Where is the coolant temperature sensor on an Astra mk4 1999 1.6 8v?

I have a light come on in the dash board and the fan comes on when I start the car and turns off about 2 mins after I turn it off the light is a box with what looks like a flash in.

Thank you very much
If it helps I took it out the other day and went to McDonald's when I came out to start it it struggled to start but after a couple of key turns and a few revs it found itself any ideas?

I would go get a diagionstic scan see if there are any set fault codes, not all codes will set a check light.

Can you advise what the engine code is, that is the engine type identification, as the local Holden Astra and Barina's have opal engines and they may be the same engine so i may be able to track it down that way.
