very hot engine!

[yellow peril]

Our 4.5 Cerbera generally runs at 90 degrees but in slow traffic can reach 110 degrees! No water loss. The dealer says it ''runs a bit hot but is okay''! The fans may switch in on the move but to be honest the car is a bit on the loud side as most will appreciate and I''m not sure. The passenger cooks from the vent on the gear tunnel that leaks extremely hot air. I have put foam ear plugs into the windscreen vents to stop hot air on the passenger side. I''ve suggested nudity to my female passenger(didn''t go down too well!) I know the car is a racing car for the road, but 110 degrees seems a bit warm to me. Apart from that the cerby is a brilliant car and a blast to drive. Any comments please.

That's about the same as my 4.2, slow traffic, 1st gear, summer etc. I always get worried that it's going to blow but it hasn't yet in 4 years. On the other hand I had a Chimp for a day in the summer and it overheated. Hundreds of people must of seen me I looked and felt a right d**k.

What no aircon ???

[yellow peril]

Hi carlthomas we DO have aircon, it has been checked and it works fine! We joined the TVR Club and attended a few meetings before buying the car and was advised not to buy a Cerb without aircon, advice that we have passed on many times! Fortunately we have not yet had to pull over on the M25 or M1, not yet anyway! Edited by yellow peril on Friday 17th August 12:42

you can also remove your "catts"...

It is reassuring to know that you experience the same sort of temerature increase as we do Gizmo, lets hope we never have the same experience as P922LOJ. Travelling the M25 a lot I can imagine the embarrassment. Thanks to everyone for your replies.
