Hi Guys,

The past 3 or 4 times I have had the car out on a long run as like today, the handbrake is so hot that I can't touch it or hold it more than 1 or 2 seconds. I mean really hot!

Any thought?

Close your windows and keep the air-con on.

Having the windows open in a Noble forces air from the vents underneath the tunnel in the bottom of the car into the cabin, heating up the tunnel and everything attached to it.

If you put your hand over the gear knob or handbrak gaiter when you are travelling down the road and open the window you will literally feel the air coming through.

Thanks Joust.

Absolutely right. Windows were open all of the way yesterday. It is so unusual to use a/c up here in coldest Aberdeen ! Open windows are normally fine!

Thanks.
