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.

Not done it on my 120, on in my old Series Land Rover just wedged a bit of cardboard in front of the rad. Worked great.
