reducing warm up time and increacing cold day running temp
#1
ok so it started driving my van with a dw10td in it when we had the beast from the east the engine temp did not get past 50c, now i've got another 306 driving up to huddersfield when it was -1 it would not get past 70c.

so i got out some card bord bloked about 80% of the rad and drove 3hours on the motorways and a roads with out problems and no over heating.

it has also had the effect of reducing warm up time substantially to within a minute or two of driving day to day.

i know that darren is running a smaller rad but is anyone else  and what are the effects


i think this is going to be a long term experiments
