Today I learnt Thanks bud helps demist though
is the van likely to have a faulty stat?
my e36 is up to water temp within about a minute of driving (oil temp takes longer though), a new stat can do wonders

I don't think so - it's almost brand new!
Not mine
Tell me your secrets!
Was gonna half seriously suggest a 12V hair dryer
. Didn't know abouy those. I've often wondered why cars dont have some form of electric auxilliary heating for this very purpose. Wouldn't be massively effective, but better than nothing, and cheap to implement.I quite like the look of something like this! I could run out and turn it on in the morning for 10 minutes and hopefully it'll all be toasty
Thanks for the link!

61 plate Kangoo. 0-Toasty in a few minutes
Hehe nice
Mine is a 61 plate also but it's a VW Caddy Do you know how much of a fuel guzzler this is? I don't have to pay for the fuel of course but I don't think they'd like it if I shoved this in and it drank fuel a lot more

That's good to know then as I'm due a new van in a few months and was going to go for a Caddy. I won't if it doesn't have bluetooth and takes an age to warm up!
To be fair to VW - I have the basic of all basic models - you can go for the model that has the Bluetooth and air con. It's a really comfortable ride - I really can't fault it at the moment - apart from the cold
It's only going to get worse too
Haha I know! I'm not looking forward to the Winter months coming up
That's sort of why I'm preparing now - It's cold now, but it'll be super cold in December/January time Oooo yeaaah

Jees, my e36 went for 2 years without a heater, was fun in winter, gloves, hat and scarf, and a decent jacket. But i'd rather be cold than too hot!! No it suffers the opposite problem, heaters working fine, but the valve has seized open so hot water flows through it all the time!!
I'd be tempted to let it run for 5 mins, heater on cold, and fans turned off. Our transit minibus takes 15 mins to warm up due to the amount of coolant, old ldv bus warmed up in about 3-4.
