I wedged a coke bottle next the the bonnet latch so the bonnet was raised a few inches to try and help the situation whilst i got it home. It most likely did nothing for the engine bay temps but i did notice the valve train noise a lot more!Driving without an engine lid

Re: Driving without an engine lid
Mine overheated a few years ago on a road trip. I wedged a coke bottle next the the bonnet latch so the bonnet was raised a few inches to try and help the situation whilst i got it home. It most likely did nothing for the engine bay temps but i did notice the valve train noise a lot more!
