Tamora and cabin temperature
Discussion
Been driving my new Tamora for a few days now and I'm shocked at how well the cabin is insulated from the engine heat. I'm even more shocked at how well the A/C works. It never made much of a difference in my Tuscan which was like the tropics no matter what the outside temperature was and the Chimaera was like being in the sun...
It's a nice change :)

Probably seems ok with our current crap weather, but a/c didn't stop me from roasting in the hot weather at Le Mans this year!
25 degrees in a black car in the sun is hot, trust me, most of my cars have been black and the Tamora A/C works a treat... the only other car I've owned with better A/C is a MR2... then again i'm a glass half full person and most everyone on pistonheads these days is glass half empty

Looks like I should get my a/c checked by the dealer then - no comparison whatsoever to the S2000 a/c

Agreed, my S2000's air con was superb, having said that though, the Aircon in my T350 doesn't seem bad. The trick i have found is to only turn the air con on when the fan is off and then turn it up. If i turn it on when the fan is running, it wont be as cold as if i run it from a standing start with the air con switched on.
Hope that bit of jabber made sense.

Seconded
totally different to my Chimaera which would melt my shoes on a regular basis. Nice positive post.moag said:
I have a weird problem on my T350....The air con works for the vents mounted on the vertical parts of the dash, but is baking hot on the screen facing and leg facing horizontal vents...any ideas on a fix?
That is how the piping is plugged in. Cold air or aircon to the hand vents. Hot air via a furnace somewhere to the screen and footwell. (Athough I though there was one cool vent in the passenger footwell under the glovebox.)
If you wind the temperature stting to full heat and turn the fan speed up (the fan speed LEDs only light when the heat setting has taken affect - flap settings?) wait for the LEDs to light then wind the temperature setting back to cold and the heat stops comming out of the vents on the windscreen and footwell after about 15 secs
(or at least it works on mine)
