And if that fails switch the energy to the dilitheom crystals and get away on impulse power . Pat

Absolutely,you'd be surprised how much venting the engine bay helps.I got back to Kalgoorlie in my LandLoser once by removing the bonnet,the second time by putting tex screws through the fan hub.POS they are. Pat

I'm really interested in the whole cooling gill/vent discussion. I've been unable to find any photos on the net of a Defender with this mod though. Pat, do you have any photos or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Wonder how a Hilux bonnet scoop mounted backwards would work and look?

Here's an L322 as an idea.

Another way with an XU1,my all time favourite Australian car.With the gills you can buy them ready made from performance shops in all shapes and size's,you simply cut the guard and fit. Pat

Hi guys,

The puma 2.2 limiter kicks in at 111 degrees Celsius .

I found this out today on the way back from Kalbarri

2015 130 defender
35 inch tyres
Bas 170bhp
Sitting on 120km hour

Thanks Pat.
Yep, I'm aware of gills on other makes-models but was wondering if anyone had done it to their Defender.
Ive researched radiator-intercooler efficacy and air exit re my 2004 MGTF 160 which has been reflashed by the man responsible for the factory tune within MG on the introduction of the car. They were tested in Australia prior to release.
Real world experience on a Defender re this potential mod would be great.
Best wishes mate.
