| Mar 201196000 miUS $734 | Radiator was leaking, especially on cold days. They replaced the entire radiator. bulb burned out, clock misbehaving - had alternator and battery checked - turned out OK told noise was caused by valve lifters.

Both shop and I agreed we should wait until it gets much worse before spending the big money to fix it. | ||
