Not got to the bottom of it. Spoke with Grizz and we concluded it was hot air from the engine bay and not a lot could be done. (they all do that sir). Not sure myself. The hot air is coming from above the heater outlets and is controlled by what speed I am going and how hard the engine is running. Grizz mentioned he had another customer with similar issues so doesnt sound uncommon. Post a note and lets see if anything comes back

Update on this hot air thing. It can be increased by the fan speed set and also if i close the centre vents. Regardless of road speed. From this I am concluding there must be some sort of leak of air from the heating system as if it was all from the engine you wouldnt be able to influence in this way. Will keep you in touch.

Mine's the same. With a sunroof open, the warmth is nice, and you can hear the sports exhaust better.

You can feel the heat sort of 'spill out' when you boot it...
Which was nice.

maybe its a design feature to encourage us to have the windows open to hear the V8 ?!?!

I agree with you re. sunroof...
