About Cowl Top Ventilator Louvres

One of the most important components, whose function is to provide protection to the interior of a car’s engine compartment, is the cowl top panel ventilator. This is a panel that can be found at the bottom of the vehicle’s windscreen in close proximity to where the windscreen wipers are connected to the car. Whilst it is important that the cowl top panel prevents unwanted items of debris, such as mud, leaves and sticks from penetrating the engine compartment it is also important that it permits adequate ventilation.

The Rover driverside cowl top ventilator louvre provides this much needed ventilation on the driver’s side of the vehicle.  It is able to achieve this because the   Rover cowl top louvre on the driverside has a set of ventilation grilles cut into it.  These are sufficiently small to prevent objects from getting inside the panel but large enough to allow air to get in and out. 

If  the    Rover cowl  top  ventilator  louvre  on the  driverside or  the  passengerside  becomes damaged and begins to allow debris to infiltrate the engine compartment it should be replaced right away in order to prevent the consequential damage that might be caused to the engine and other mechanical components within the engine compartment.

Rover trivia

• The MG Rover Group was the last mass-production car company in the UK to be owned by domestic owners.
• The Rover name has had a turbulent history, but they achieved some amazing things. In March 1950, they unveiled the prototype of the Rover JET1. It was the first car to ever run off a gas turbine engine. It could reach a speed of 88mph! However, it did manage 150mph during speed tests. The JET1 is now on display at the London Science Museum.
• British Aerospace ended up buying the Rover brand in 1988. But they sold it off in 1994 to BMW, who formed MG Rover.
• MG Motor, the current face of what used to be Rover, launched a supermini called the MG3 in 2013. The car catapulted the company back into the highlight as the brand became the UK's fastest-growing car manufacturer.
• Rover was part of the government's rearmament programme in the run-up to WWII and even ran two shadow factories to start building what the government needed. One of the shadow factories was in Birmingham, but the larger of the two was in Solihull.
