I hope your not going to treat it like you do your off road motor Rick

No will not be doing such extreme stuff.

Yes blanking it off with two bits soft flat foamy stuff, reasoning that it will not work too hard and should be able to pull enough air in the gap between the air con rad and the engine one, but will be keeping a hard eye on the gauge anyway, Rick

All sorted, wheels changed round, splash guard back on that I removed to do all the belts, pressure washer loaded and 125 ltr water for washing off after, next post will be pics after the event, Rick
