Fascinating ... maybe discrete slits in bonnet plus removal of a tray I never even knew was there ... I am shocked I spent six two on a two six and never even bothered looking underneath the thing :-/

...... After 10 mins driving and stays there, no matter what ..... after 570 miles in three days , 460 of them in 24 hours, I wonder is the needle stuck or is my cooling system really neat?

I have had this problem bad since I bought mine. Last week, changed all the spark plugs for the NGK recomended upgrade, which handle the temperature better apparently. (Bought them a while back as part of the Terminator SC upgrade which I STILL haven't got round to!!!!) So far been running great, but no sunny hot days as yet to test it.

I have also got a marine 100mm duct fan to install, to draw cooler air from below the belly pan up to the top, and I intend to put vents in the bonnet during the SC install.

Oooh ... any links to the kind of bonnet vents that might suit our motors? Anyone know any good specialists doing such work in the north of UK?
