Peter, I believe there is in the Aeromax; however, I am not certain with respect to the Plus 8.
I'll see if I can find out for you. I'll be able to look on Tuesday!!!!!

Hi all. Last night it was a lovely crisp, dry evening with stars a shining.. Took the roof panels off for the first time and took my daughter out for the first time too. A great memorable spin - what its all about!!
Was wondering what other Aero owners considered normal running temp?? As mentioned had the roof off with heater going great guns. My temp gauge (once warmed up) fluctuated between 95 when driving on open roads at a steady 59mph up to 110 when pottering in town which did seem a tad warm?? I could occasionally hear the fan cutting in thus lowering temp so guess that's operating correctly. Appreciate the BM 8 cylinder is known to run hotter than say the 6 but all the same whenever my temp gauge gets around the 100 I stay alert with it concentrating the mind!!
Not sure on accuracy regarding the actual readings as on our return I ran up the air con with temperature control on max cold and then the engine temperature lowered to 90?? how odd!
Oh yes - another first.. As we drove past some parked cars their alarms seemed to go off!...... As I said a great memorable drive out.. 85 to 100 degrees is normal for my cars.

My Coupe lives around 97-105 in most cases.
I use the LCD on the speedo, tap the end of the stalk.
I spoke to the factory and they said 95-105 is normal, no fear at all until 115 for short periods.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I could occasionally hear the fan cutting in thus lowering temp so guess that's operating correctly. In my experience, that is pretty standard. When we've done Aero road trips, most seem to sit around 100-105 but 110 isn't uncommon. The engine compartment is cramped and you'll notice how much heat the engine gives off when you drive the car in the summer and get stuck in traffic - heat soak into the cabin footwells is cured by using the A/C and without it on, you soon realise just how warm BMW V8s run. I totally agree ......thank our maker for AC

103-106 today in cold conditions - with the heater on and roof off. Temperatures didn't rise on the blatt up to the tank proving ground - nor when doing doughnuts.
The Alpine run I did earlier this summer hovered around 100-106.
Motorway cruises will see it hover around 90-95.
The manual explains when the various cooling fans kick in - and IIRC 106 is the top end figure.
