1. it didn't appear to make a scrap of difference to the sound or engine temperature on or off

2. the number of times it had to come off for any one of a myriad of d2 minor under bonnet repairs it was better off in the shed.

Mines hanging on hook in the shed , did not seem to make any difference on or off . At least now you get a visual once over every time you lift the bonnet for any irregularities before they get worse that would otherwise be hidden .
