Hi all, Newbie here!
I have recently ( 10 months ago ) acquired my first Fiat 500, 1972 R.
It had its fair share of issues when I bought it, but that's what I liked, nothing hidden.
I took him ( Bari ) out for the maiden voyage on Sunday, kept on pulling over to check and adjust a few things.
One of things that struck me was how hot the engine lid was getting....too hot to touch!
Its a standard engine, standard exhaust.
Other than lining the inside of the boot lid with a heat shield, is there another fix?
Thanks in advance for the help.
