I noticed that the air intake to the filter is just in front of and close behind the bonnet insulation. Any air entering the intakes has to take a torturous journey through the engine bay and over the inside of the bonnet.
I then noticed that the bonnet has a rubber seal running the length of the bonnet sealing it to the body (and marking the paint)
I have removed this strip and now cool fresh air is driven directly into the intakes, although only through a 5 mm gap. Was this a good idea? Any thoughts would be welcome.
