Bonnet Vents

(16-05-2012 12:35am)garryforrestuk Wrote:  The final pictures with the all black vinyl under the vent. The only thing I would change is the thickness of the 3m tape I used it has caused a slight gap around the edge of the vent but you can get thinner tape, I received the tape as a gift and did not want to buy some. If any one is interested I have one bonnet vent spare which I dropped and marked the paint if you are going for black or a different colour it can be painted or leave it the colour Atlas and live with mark, It is all ready to be fitted so you can copy for the second vent. I can send pictures of the mark on the vent open to offers was £86.
P.S I would like to thank

done last month : original land rover accessories

thanks gary for advices

I bought the vents from Jai as he sold his evoque before he could fit them.
Could someone please measure the distance from the edges of the vent to the edge of the bonnet (wiper side) and to the fold in the bonnet as shown with the yellow tape on my picture below?

Thanks

What is being vents by these vents?

Nothing! Even on the Coupe the car doesn't need vents (if it did then the same engined 5 door versions would also have vents fitted!) If you have a Coupe there is a hole under them, but on 5 door models you either have to stick them on or buy a coupe bonnet if you want "vents" and the replacement bonnet option is about £1000........

They are there to allow water to drain into the top of the engine mount which then overflows onto the auxiliary drive belt which then makes a terribly embarrassing screeching noise on startup.
I don't know, the things these car designers come up with. I would never have thought of such a feature

Come on you guys with coupes, someone please help Rein with the dimensions he needs!

Used a tape measure..... in the rain.

Top bit at the centre of the range rover logo:-



Towards the windscreen wiper (RHD drivers side) - tape measure is along the inner section of the vent:-





Hope this helps.... its raining harder now!

Thank you very much Shenley!

Close - they are there to let in the rain to put out the fire when the diesel spill rail leaks and we have external combustion !
