Well I know haydn callow uses a lolly pop stick with a 20mm mark on it, well I have just used a see through drinking straw. Just stick it in the expansion bottle put your finger on top, pull out and hey presto you can see how much water is in there. Take you finger off and the water falls back in the bottle and with using a straw you don’t need to wait for the lolly pop stick to dry, you can do it as often as you like.
Must get out more
I am full of useless information today.

I use a chopstick.......... coolant "clings" and you check that way and give it a wipe and it sits nice in the battery tray.... if yer lucky I will show you it one day....
