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.

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


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

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