[QUOTE="sweller, post: 644265, member: 33871"] I cleaned out the oil bath air filter on my recently acquired 1971 bay - for the first time - and I discovered that it appears to have a metal plate inserted and crudely welded to shut off the cold air intake. Apologies for the poor quality picture. There is no thermostatic control on the flap, it is just a simple lever. The carboard hoses from the hot area are in good condition and connected but I can't fathom why it appears to be modified in this way. The van has a new engine (the PO had a local garage install it), runs well and does about 20-22mpg Any ideas? Thanks, Simon Brighton, UK [ATTACH type="full"]8419[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
