Correct. When she's cold it won't come on under 10 MPH, but that doesn't last long. Once she's warm, it's always gonna be there at a stop.

Would you current owners consider the urban cooling kit to be an 'essential' add on in the UK then?

"Essential"? No, but it's going to be interpreted differently by different folks. Valuable? Yes. Any time you're lowering high temps it's gonna be a positive thing. It's essential if you're in a parade in Phoenix Arizona.

Yes!

Without it the engine gets very hot in traffic and eventually the skipfire mode kicks in which misses every other firing stroke. Once I had the urban cooling kit fitted it was much happier and runs much better in the (rare) summer heat.

It's a pretty "cheap" upgrade if you don't have it and well worth it.

100 C is the trigger so as Ken says, it doesn't take long.

Absolutely - Skipfire is dreadful.

I first thought I'd done my big ends with the noise the engine was making.

Thanks boys. I'm about to take delivery of chassis no 003!, cooling kit not expensive at £150(?) but it does spoil the looks IMHO.

Think of it as a condom. Spoils the beauty but keeps things safer.

It's worth having the shroud painted - helps the looks.

The other benefit is it ducts air around the back of the cylinders when you're moving so keeping things cooler and at a more even temp.

So we rumbled and potato potato'ed down the valley to the sea at Crackington Haven (N.Cornwall). In the car park we were met by one of the Morgan factory tour guides. I think he was as surprised as we were.
