Quick update,
Grille Block added - but then removed, the temps came up nice and quickly during the recent cold snap but I'd completely blocked the lower grill which seems to be the primary intake for the rad. because the temp kept on rising.

Going to look into a complete top grille block and maybe a better aftermarket airfilter. these paper element one barely seem to last 5k before they're choked with Road grime.

Just had a shocker of a tank @43us (ish) because I felt the car running to during a photo shoot i was on and I got stuck in a 3.5hr traffic jamin subzero temps :S

Current tank which has been to Silverstone and back, is looking promising but its highlighted how much CHUG needs a bit of a service and some attention..... and maybe a wash!
