as some of you may have read my post just after xmas about my car being vandalised got new windscreen today, when fitter took it out van i thought he was going to land in russia the way the wind caught him, anyway went to lidl and got an antifreeze strength tester think it was only £1.29 or there abouts after few hours went out to check strength (it usualy set around -30) got out sample of water and it wasn,t pink it was like watered down milk, so presume my head gasket on it,s way out. more blooming expense, just what,s needed, although good side i suppose is if i hadn,t checked the strength then i,d never have known and it,d have packed in so am i lucky or not lol jury,s out.
