[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 606072, member: 13810"] Slightly different point of view perhaps, I’m agreeing with most of what’s said above and if you only run your motor in the summer, then most of the above points are indeed valid. A quick warm up and off you go. In the winter or on very cold mornings and evenings it may be a totally different ball game , as in the motor may not get warm enough or even up to operating temperature without stat and flaps so the motor might be wearing at an extremely unacceptable rate in cool conditions the whole time it’s running. Mrs Ozziedog tells me that’s it’s an incredible feat of engineering when the heaters are chucking out more heat than you can deal with in the hot weather but Luke warm if anything in the cold weather without flaps and stat and when it’s freezing,you’ll at best get a draught to the screen if you are very very lucky. So that tells me the motor is cool runnings when colder. Imagine how much harder it is for the motor to warm up if it has any extra coolers, or how much harder if there is more oil to warm up, Ozziedog,,,,,,,,great topic to run with (or warm to) :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
