I thought that was just Chimaera owners? Griffith drivers want performance Rich...

p.s. Have you tried closing all the dash vents and just opening the drivers footwell vent under the scuttle?

Yep I have. Thames Valley Racetech did a conversion for me which involves fitting an Escort (I think) heater fan directly onto the back of the bulkhead where the standard one feeds air in. this removes the need for the fan to pressurise the inner wing before it actually gets air into the car.

It makes a world of difference to the amount of air going through the vents. Unfortunately there is now some other issue with mine where I can't now get warm air (TVRacetech have investigated it as well) so it must actually be the only Griff you will ever get cold in (when the weather is cold that is)

I'm sure your local dealer/specialist can work out how to do the same thing for you.
