Diesel for the short journeys as the FBH feature alone even on basic models should warm it up quick enough

And if you remember to put the FBH on half an hour before you leave, it's warm when you get in! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

TBH for me the fact i can walk out, see the screens are clear and the inside is decently warmed in 10-15mins and start my journey knowning the engine isnt going to be stone cold as the coolant will be warmed and heat seeped into the metal work within a minute of turning over makes me happy FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

yeah the FBH is a real treat,great to just jump in and go.In fairness to the petrol,she heats up so quickly its never been an inconvenience even during the winter of 2010.If I change to diesel and It looks likely in the next year it will certainly be high on the shopping list ... |

ooo getting into a warm cabin can't be beat If only it could do the seats and steering wheel as well that would be perfect! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

King I agree with you about the seats. Dont know if they just feel colder because the cabin is warmer |

Only way to heat the seats up i found out is to forget you set the timer for 0730 and actually get into the car at 0830 and find the heat has seeped into them a little
