I tow a transporter trailor and landy on the back, and have never seen the temp gauge move. I do have the larger of the two kenlowes fitted, but that shouldnt make that much difference.

It is niceto have a hot heater blower in under half an hour too.

Has anyone considered fitting one of those bonnet scoops that let the air out, I was thinking of fitting one to the bonnet just above/around the turbo area so that the hot air in the engine bay has an easy route out.

Looking for a scoop at the moment that won't make my D2 look like a errr, ermm, well, chav.

Is it worth doing?

No the air been spun about by the fan keeps the air circulating anyway. I doubt an air scoop would make much difference unless it was a huge one. (An that would look chavvy) In the same way that ram air tops on snorkels make absolutely no difference to the performance of the engine when compared with a mushroom top.
