DS Cooling

Unread post by mickthemaverick »

Having just watched the video on the Classic over 10k thread, I noticed how the airflow to the radiator was severely restricted by the spare wheel. Having never owned one it made me wonder if that ever led to overheating problems and this has to be the place to ask :?: :)

I've found the answer to my question on this forum. It seems that generally the ducting system around the spare wheel ensured sufficient air into the radiator, but in extreme areas the introduction of a second radiator in front of the spare wheel did help the engine cooling!! :-D
