 Hi, I appreciate that temperatures in London or Paris are not normally as high as in some parts of the US. Over there I have mainly driven in Houston where the traffic seems to be relatively smooth and free flowing. In Paris at rush hour it is normal to take an hour to go 3 miles - well its not exceptional.

Considering the amount of junk that your filter is picking up I would be be concerned about blockages in some of the bearing galeries - in fact I would be worried about the consequences of, for example, one cam deciding it did not want to turn -$$$.

Even without the thermostat the remote filter is a good mod - you dont have to take off the airbox to get at the filter or clean up the mess after. On top of that you can 'prime' the filter and if you mount it in the lower wheel arch behind the rad you can get good access to it and under it for oil changes.
