Like you've been told by a thousand other members, do a simple bonnet lift! Will cost you nothing so why not just give it a try??

Have to say that perhaps thousands of members are wrong. Raising the bonnet has proven to raise temps in an engine bay!!!

Mate that could be true, but it gives me piece of mind knowing that when I'm driving along and the car is hot, it is still sitting below the 1/4 mark - the air has somewhere to feed out other than the gearbox tunnel. Whereas when I pull up in traffic, they needle goes up to halfway.

It's still cheaper than putting bonnet vents in, and reversable if it doesn't work as well as you want it to.
