After serving me for more than 8 years, I had to say to goodbye to the trusty thermostat that had been working hard to maintain the engine temperature of my car.

This happened on last Thursday when my family and I decided to visit Genting Highland. The main purpose was that my brother in-law who came all the way from Jakarta wanted to get a Genting’s t-shirt. I don’t think they sell that in Petaling Street so, we had to go up there to get one.

After having our lunch at the Genting Sempah rest area, we proceeded with the climb and shortly after that, the car started to lose power and I noticed that the engine temperature started to rise. At first I thought that we had too much weight since we just had lunch but that should not be the case as the car is designed to carry 5 adults and yet we only had 4.
