shield

is there anyway to modify a sheild for this to prevent heat soak as thats pretty confined in the engine bay and will suffer from the heat, on other cars i've made stainless sheilds to confine the filter within the bay from as much heat as possible etc.

yes

just phone around your local scrappy, and ask them to collect it and weigh it in, you'l maybe see 75-110 i guess, take anything you need off it fiirst and if you want the wheels as spares, arrange to collect them from the yard once cars been taken.

i think you need to prove ownership, v5 etc.
