Its meant to be sound deadening, but all it does is add extra weight, hold water so your car rots quicker.

So I wont notice that much difference? I think My mantzel maybe touching it as when I am sitting in traffic I get some steam occasionally from under the bonnet :o :lol:


But when you open it there is nothing there so it would point to it been that


Might take it off and keep it to see if i notice a difference :)


How do they come off? I have never looked :lol:

I never had one on my 1.2 8v but my 1.6 sport had one fitted. I took mine off because it was sagging down slightly and my lexmaul inlet was slowly burning it. Since then i've just never been bothered to put it back.
