Hi all
Until yesterday the metallic trim that surrounds the gear lever was always warm to touch once the car had warmed. Yesterday I drove 500 miles and it was stone cold throughout. No difference in performance, car is driving perfectly. I've done 10,000 miles in a year and it's always been warm. Seems odd.
Any thoughts?

Why the heck are you touching the metal around the gear selector!? I have no clue...

Could you tell me if yours gets hot or stays cold?

No mine does both .....sometimes warm sometimes cold I actually think it depends on the weather and no I am not joking!R56WUF wrote:Thanks! Maybe I have the holy grail of a self healing car?!Chrisniss91 wrote:Never noticed mine warm.

Who cares? The temperature of that piece of trim will tell you literally nothing.

Re: Gearbox interior surround
Is it a function of the heating - doesn't the rear heater ducting go through there. So in cold weather, it'll be warmer and vice versa? With the million things that go wrong with the car, I'm sure we can find something "properly" wrong, if you want?

Erm, I guess I care. If I didn't I probably wouldn't have asked the question...SuprSi wrote:Who cares? The temperature of that piece of trim will tell you literally nothing.

Re: Gearbox interior surround
Just seems stupid trying to diagnose a non existent fault based on the temperature of an interior piece of trim.
I should have kept my mouth shut. I'll sod off now.

Re: Gearbox interior surround
Do your rear vents work ok? the ducting does indeed go straight under the gearbox surround.

Re: Gearbox interior surround
I'm feeling a little disappointed in this thread!
Firstly where is Shop?? I would have expected him to have posted about how if you tap the fuel gauge twice, then re-programme the climate control, and finally wire in a small lemming you can get the electric sunroof to display the said trim temperature.
Next I would have expected a goodly round of Bam and Chunky sharing their inmost fantasies on the benefits or otherwise of a warm trim.....
And finally, where are the tuners/modifiers with a decent offering of a trim cooling system mysteriously linked to an turbo or two??
Come on guys - time to up our game!!
