Wow ! Is like when you have a pain in your finger is better sometimes to cut directly all arm . You actually sold your 230 for this overheating issue ?

Yes ..a little over the top I freely admit.. but the 230 was my first Pagoda and a steep learning curve.. it taught me a lot and I enjoyed the process… I bought badly from someone who (by reputation) I thought I could trust.. I spent time and money,as we do, making many improvements.. met many people on the journey,both good and not so..
In the end,I knew what to look for in my next car.. and I found it.. I’m the third owner and it’s a keeper.. the overheating was the trigger.. now my needle sits dead center and problem solved…
