As ming says above.

Keeps the ird and engine at the same temp. Stops the metal expanding at different rates, due to heat.

So, he's doing this without so much as a Heinz Manwell

let alone the rave cd

There's a link to the rave cd in my signature if you need it. But only tell him after the 2nd day of fun!

It is easy to screw things up real bad by going at it with the spanners without FIRST referring to the manual and checking out such good forums as this.

As an example - more than one TD4/KV6 Autobox has been ruined by removing the wrong bolt thinking it is the filler plug. That's a £1500 bit of pride to swallow.

Us chaps are allegedly really good at stopping to ask directions as well :crazy_driver:
