Hot glovebox Disco2

[Slunnie]

Does anybody/everybody end up with a hot glovebox between the 2 fronts seats by any chance? If its not normal, doesn't anybody know why this happens by any chance?

Thanks for any input.

Simon does it happen after you put a pie in it?

OMG, I had never thought of that! That also explains the "ding" after driving for 30mins! :lol2:

He thinks he has an optional extra, so it's where he warms his beer...[bigsad]

If you've got rear climate control it could be a stuck flap in the ducting, or foam seal gone. I get a hot left leg in the drivers footwell.

Transmission issue, some reflective material gone, hole in exhaust, short, coiled spare wire tucked away?

Closure on this.

If your centre glovebox is like a pie warmer then check if the handbrake cable bung is still in place. Mine had fallen out of place and I guess hot underbody air was being blown up into the cavity under the glovebox. Might be good to keep some fumes out of the cabin also!

That reminds me, where is my pie warmer?

It was in my glovebox. :lol2:

In the opposite direction, I've considered drilling some holes so that the vents under the centre console vent into the console instead.

To cool the glovebox?

It interesting, because under the centre console, there are 2 ducts from the HVACS system that run under the lips on each side that duct the air to those back vents. I think you'd be able to do that really easily, even running new ducts from the front.

My D1 has no boot on the gearshift. And no carpet. Thing absolutely roasts my left leg on a warm day. Will it do that on a cold one??? Guess.

I bet it does! :lol2:

I've just changed the gear selector bias plate on my D1, there was the console, a wad of insulation padding that was really thick and a rubber bush to keep the mud, water and hot air out. The AC duct through there, so no cooling air from under the console if the boots are not fitted.

I had exactly the same warm issue, both the middle console box, and along side of my left leg which I even thought myself getting rid of the car.

However, I did remove my floor and put about 5 layers of this aluminium heat shield (it is a very thin layer) on the floor all around the centre console and side and half of bottom seat area. Cost only 1.5 x packs of them which is total $25.

Now my leg and my console is cool as normal. :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210115/85dd101ecfef7d86eed6a38dc6be5def.jpg

This brings memories of a TV show? with a hot box added to the exhaust. They also cooked a chicken fillet in a couple of zip seal bags in a dish washer.
