Gear boxes can also run quite hot and this after a while will transfer through panels. in my defender in summer on a trip the back of the drivers legs get quite warm and the hand brake metal is close to hot not just warm. I asked around the dealer and mechanics they said that it was quite normal. I would guess that the insulation in the d2 just slows the heat transfer...... But at the moment i am removing my gearbox to have it rebuilt, it's a slow process ( me removing it and getting access to a hoist ) but if i find out that heat was the cause or heat was a symptom of the problem I will post it under the r380 oil question in the general questions that I posted earilier this week.
