Question Coolant question

I'm no mechanic so this question might sound a bit silly to more experienced people but how do I determine the coolant level in a 99 model Impreza 2000 Turbo. The non turbo I had was easy, it was just a big coolant bottle next to the radiator. But the setup is different on this turbo scoob.

Another thing: will Halford's ready mixed coolant do?

Thanks for any help.

Make sure header than on right hand side of engine is full, also make sure the resovoir bottle on passenger wing is to at least min mark.
I use the green coolant in my turbo 2000 my99 car, mixed 50/50 with water. Should hold 7 litres ish for a full flush and change so you will need 3.5ltr of coolant. The above is what I do and use on my car. Hope that helps.

Question

Incidently, since there are no Hayne's manuals for scoobys, where can I find an engine diagram with indications to what's what in that engine bay
