Mine was mounted in a similar position to Thijs by the Melbourne agent in 1978. His comment at the time (and we started with one on a Datsun 240K) was that if the system was going to fail it would do so in the first 3 months. Hope I haven't put a moz on it! Certainly improved start-up and idle but the car does need to be warmed.The power modules are waterproof, so being covered in water is not a problem. Mine is mounted at the front down low outside of the engine bay. They can be mounted under the guard, behind the grill, anywhere really that is not within the confines of the engine bay. I have seen them mounted beside the bracket that holds the bonnet prop when open, but you do need to cut the bonnet edge rubber at that location so the module is then in a constant stream of cool air. A friend of mine had one mounted there for over 30 years with no problems at all.

Only problem in 42 years was the need to replace the chopper a couple of years ago when I bent it whilst trying to sort an idling problem which turned out to be due to a faulty new white plastic valve on the brake servo.
