|
|
Hi
Have any of you made a front grill cover for the cold days?
On the way up the valley the engine will heat up fine. But on the way down it will stay cold for a while.
Would a grill cover make a good difference I wonder? Be better for the engine and get warm air faster?
Cheers
Jim |

When I had my 80 series it was fitted with a roller blind in front of the rad, think it was a standard fitment. _________________ It's Not a Bl**dy Jeep it's a Landcruiser
