I am the same Hodge. Cant stand driving it on hot days. I agree with both Hodge & the evil twin, its not overheating but seems to hate having the hot air sucked into it. By the sounds of it an extra bonnet scoop or a bigger intercooler sounds like it may help. I would have thought having a snorkel would help force cooler air into the engine, thus helping this problem.
