Definately wont be left running when the car is parked up as I would like
to
have some charge left in the battery so that I can start the car for the
journey home.
As to the temperature, there is other stuff in the car far more susceptable
to heat...namely me !
I start to suffer when the temperature goes above 24C, go into panic mode
when the temperature goes above 28C, and start looking for the nearest cold
store, server room or other air conditioned hideaway once it hits 30C.
