i wouldn't do anything except to ensure your cooling system is running properly and you remove the undersheild.

but according to: http://www.landrovertechinfo.com/ext...iDocCode=32730

2003 Model Year Product Update Book
DISCOVERY 2003 MODEL YEAR UPDATE


"Cooling Pack
-A modified fan cowling is introduced to improve air flow through the radiator. Foam inserts are fitted to each side of the fan cowling, behind the grille, to direct air through the radiator.

-A modified undershield is also introduced to improve air flow under the vehicle."

but i don't think that "improve air flow under the vehicle" is the same as saying it is improving the air flow of the engine.

Right?

Installing a Saudi spec grille might get you down a few degrees?....Maybe?

Can't believe that Disco with the hood scoop wasn't a big hit! Pretty sure it'll the feature vehicle for the next Fast and Furious

I have, and also removed the insulation under the hood. Here's a pic and a link to where I got the vents. Best price around....
