I think that if the internet pricing is enforced by Ricoh they are doing a great job here in Australia. The prices are simply irresistible.K5 II looks silly-expensive in the UK.

Even Sigma ART lenses are much cheaper than the UK so it's not just Ricoh.
As for the Silver SE K3, it does look like plastic, I said that when mine arrived.

It won't be as it's the APS-C K3 Prestige that has just been announced.

Roll up roll up, another K3 variant just announced by Ricoh.

Buy one quick as Ltd numbers available.
Me, I think it's a prequel to the next major product announcement that may be announced at Photokina.

There's no absolutes. The problem with high temps is it caused expansion and movement of connections. An intermittent fault, if it is due to heat, will be an issue not too easily sorted.
You could raise the camera to 40'C or so by using a fan heater and cardboard box, allowing the camera to saturate to the temperature and then shoot it to see if it behaves.
Other than that, your on your own anyway. You may want to just do a firmware upgrade and keep using the camera to see if the same issue occurs?
When is the end of the warm weather in the UK? (I already know it will be after I visit).

My thoughts are otherwise. I've had cameras and lenses way past 30'C by being out in direct sunlight. Here and around the Middle East and never had an issue. By way past 30'C I mean to the point of uncomfortable to hold.
I regularly get flashguns switching off at these temperatures.
It may be a firmware issue. What version are you running?

With all due respect, based on the above images, don't rush in too quick as these are not good examples of what the camera can do. I'm struggling to see what you focussed on.
