thought it might be integeral to the cooling of the engine or maintaining engine temp

no noticable noise increase in the defender

naa, it's an acoustic cover mate.
Left mine off a few times and is a touch more noisy.

yes, over the howl of the muddies and the 3" exhaust sans muffler, plus the original Landy noise.....:D

I just picked one up second hand, they fit the 200 Tdi as well.
Made a fair bit of difference to that.
