A motor vehicle having a vehicle body, an engine compartment () housing an engine () and a bonnet seal arrangement (). The bonnet seal arrangement defines an opening () and is configured to deflect ram air received at the front of the motor vehicle () in use past the opening () to define a first air flow path, and draw air from the first air flow path through the opening () to define a second air flow path for supplying air to the intake duct orifice (), the second air flow path being angled in a horizontal plane to the first air flow path.

Motor vehicle bonnet seal arrangement

A liquid container has a plurality of resilient liquid permeable bodies inserted via an aperture and attached to a mounting by a tether, so as to interrupt the free flow of liquid within the container and prevent noise and vibration resulting from the contained fluid sloshing. A method describes how the anti-slosh device can be installed into a liquid container and how the device can be retrofitted to any liquid container.

Anti-slosh device and method for a liquid container

A motor vehicle comprises a vehicle body, an engine compartment housing an engine, a bonnet movably coupled to the body and arranged to provide a closure member for the engine compartment, the bonnet being movable between open and closed conditions to allow access to the engine compartment, and an engine air intake duct having an orifice through which intake air may be drawn into the engine. The vehicle is provided with first and second air flaw paths whereby air may be supplied to the air intake duct. The first flow path comprises an air inlet aperture disposed at a front portion of the vehicle for receiving ram air and an air outlet aperture aft of the air inlet aperture, the air outlet aperture being provided in fluid communication with the air intake duct orifice. The second flow path is provided by a gap between a side edge of the bonnet and the body of the vehicle, whereby ambient air may be drawn through the gap to the air intake duct.
