Can’t you precondition your diesel van 10mins or so before going anywhere?
We are not that kind of household, there is NEVER 10 minutes before only 10 minutes late. I also have a ‘bit of a thing’ for parked cars with their engine running.
Same. My diesel Focus (obviously) needs me to warm the engine up before leaving but I feel awkward sitting there with the engine running and not doing anything. Have a neighbour who leaves his house and sits in his Audi A3 diesel several times in the evening, engine on, lights on, heating on full blast, just to use his phone. Out there 30 minutes or longer. Drives me nuts.
Everyone in our col de sac do it but, have the decency to turn lights off, rather than leaving them on auto. When I leave early to get my daughter to her not so local school, its evident the majority of the estate do it and Ive never liked the idea of standing out in the crowd and its only for 10 minutes at most.
Interesting one of my neighbours hasn’t long had a MG ZS electric and make a point of standing in the window to turn the heating on via the app. What they don’t realise is the rest of the cul de sac is climatised to the bitter cold by the time they go out again to drive off ?
