I picked up my new MCS today. Just one little question is seems to run really hot (I know this may sound stupid).

When touching the bonnet at least 30 mins after the car has stopped the bonnet still seems really hot. Is this normal?

Had my MCS for 6 months now, it’s a 52 plate (yes, before you ask, that makes it second hand, oh no sorry "cherished").

I hadn’t thought about this before, but I put my hand on the bonnet after an hour long run to work, down the motorway, obeying the law of course

and....

It was cool, tried all over the bonnet and on the air scoop, and it’s all the same.

Standard MCS, although it is going into the dealer to have a collapsed engine breather hose replaced

At least 1 of us may need to be concerned, not sure which though.

edit * oh where did the red come from?
