HMMM didn't read all of it but I think I'll be putting her up on ramps & fitting that under tray that's been sitting in the shed for the past 18 months.

Very good find as Always Dave.

I least i know the undertray mabe doing something to help the airflow through the TMIC so I guess I will be leaving mine on now.

undertrays work. simplified explanation from carbing-

Quote:

Under Panel rectifies air flow entering vehicle under engine room.
By adding flat panel under the engine room, under panel eliminates air pile up that occurs at mid to high speed driving. Rectifying air flow under the car adds down force to the vehicle.
Under Panel also increases air flow speed under the car that pulls the air from the engine room for better cooling efficiency.
Thus it stabilizes water and oil temperature.
