This is the same point made by several others.

I am not having to try it is right in front of your eyes.

Who said it was based on solely on you though - no one did even your post originally to me did not.

Also, it has been proven on a number of occasions that the hydrometers are totally hit and miss some are so bad they do not even read results correctly - AE went as far as to say "several readings to get a realistic picture."

Never said it had to be that £25 though, there was a second hand one in one of the links on here for around £10.

Why do you all test your antifreeze/coolant? Surely it isn't going to deteriorate to the point at which it will actually freeze in our winter temps? I've never tested mine as i've changed it in previous cars but never kept them long enough to think about changing it
