Well Bart that is good news and hope every goes to plan tomorrow morning when you start it.
It certainly has been long winded but hope every turns out in your favour and you'll still be in a Hyundai.
Good Luck!!!

Any more news Bart - waiting to hear the outcome.

It is a bit of a squeeze but you can open the aperture in the mud insulator under the wing - its like a flap.

I am doing a 1000 mile trip over the next week so all ears will be listening.

It appears that there is not anybody on this chapter who has a high mileage Kona to see whether things improve or get worse. Is ther...
