Ok, you have convinced me to keep the tray on. More pros than cons.  Thanks to all for sharing your views.   :y

sorry guys but thats not my experience, admittedly mine is a diesel and it may be different on the petrols, but the diesel runs cooler without it, I looked at it carefully when it was off and the air has to travel out of a letter box sized hole at the rear of the engine, in other words hot air from the rad further heated by the engine etc,my cooling fans were on almost permanently out here, with it removed they dont come on till the airflow stops, i,e wehn the vehicle stops, like i say this only true of my diesel i cant comment on the petrols,do agree with the muck comments as said in my original post

Mine neither - both my TDs plus the ones I service, have had 'em removed.
No problems to report on any of 'em either!

Mine was removed a couple of years ago by a friend, when my starter motor failed...  Sadly the muppet lost the bolts for t when he pulled it off and managed to crack it too....  So it went back on...

I will admit that the car was quieter with it on than off, temparature, I don't know...
