On 9 Feb 2022, I traveled from Kuala Lumpur to Temerloh. I must had forgotten to check the radiator water level, as engine was overheated as I was approaching my destination. I did not immediately stop to cool the engine and top up the water. I decided to continue the journey, and that may be the reason for the engine problem.
My return journey to Kuala Lumpur as a real test of patient. I took me 5 hours instead of the normal 2 hr journey. I had to make 5 stops, wait for the engine to cool to top up the water..
My Actions

1. Seal Up - Material Liquid Glass Metalic - ( Sodium Silicate) , bought in Seberang Temerloh
