Bit of a survey here - see what everyone else is experiencing
Mine will soon be on the road again .
in the short time i had it on the road, at the temperatures we are experiencing this week (5-6 degrees), it would take about 5+ miles to get to running temperature.
At 0 degree temperatures it would take over 8 miles
by running temperature, i mean the needle on the gauge is between 10 and 11 o'clock
no warm up
heater not switched on until 2 miles
is this right, mines a 2006 75ps TDDI swb.
Never really got the chance in the summer to work out if it had a faulty thermostat or not, as i put it off the road in May
Last car i had, a petrol rover 420 - this had a cast iron engine too, would take 2 miles at this weeks temperatures
