Nope.

Yes, lots - agreed, it's like going to the dentist - all your teeth
fall out a week later.  Having said that, it'd have to be some very
specific engineer mistake - the fan works for sure, and other on this
list seemed to be getting the same temps as me...  I'd expect a
service engineer to leave gaps (ventilation!) more than close them
up.

And stunning modesty :)

I'm in miserable grimy UK here, and it's 14C right now..!

Yes.  Or maybe something genuinely isn't working as hard as it
should?  Might be interesting to benchmark, but I don't have the same
model.  Or time :)

Oh quite possibly.  Home environment with cats.  At some point I'll
try and blow it out and see - the only reason I didn't immediately
assume that was that (a) you seemed to be the lucky odd one out and
(b) our fan speeds are the same.
