[QUOTE="aogrady, post: 452925, member: 3512"] Hi, You mean the bit at the gearbox end where the rubber seal goes around? I would have though that as you said, the idea is that the engine has the cold zone at the top, hot zone underneath, all sealed (well as best as possible) so there is a cooler supply of air available to the fan. They ran these busses all over the world, in far higher temperature places than the UK. Think it was probably a selling point, no overheating, no water. They wouldn't spend time in R+D making it that way, for people not to fit them 'cos they thought it was better, same goes for stats and flaps....If it ran cooler and more reliable, then, from a warrenty claim point, they wouldn't fit them if it was better, and costing money to fit parts they aren't needed to cool things. Cheers, Alistair [/QUOTE]
