Having given the 'Ro a good runaround at the weekend, I noticed that the front wings either side of the bonnet were excessively hot to touch (couldn't put my hand on for more than a second!)but the bonnet was only lukewarm....
Is this normal or should I be worried?

I put the Ro in the garage the other day, an hour later I had to go back to the car to get some papers out. When I walked inside the garage it was like a blast furnace...I couldn't believe the heat,so it must be normal?.....

Got a heat generator on there? (ie) Supercharger?

No supercharger or any other bits which would generate additional heat in the engine bay... you could fry an egg on the front wings with the heat given off.

Took me a few minutes to get the KFC reference Magic919.....

i dont really get much direct heat on the wings, but sometimes when im sat in traffic i get a heatwave coming from that area, do these engines run that hot? or is it just because its big you feel the heat more?

oh and im running stock.
