England 2005 Defender 90 Td5 XS CSW Manual Bonatti Grey

Talking of 'cool motors', my 90 XS TD5 takes about 8 miles (of derestricted roads) to get up to temperature.
Is this usual or should I check the thermostat?

I guess it also depends if you keep in a garage, amd how cold it is. I have seen some land rovers with covers on the grill.. anyone know if these are worth looking into?

Like Laurie - I have an XS with heated screen and seats.. it's still a landy though

I normally get in mine, open the front vents, open the windows and start driving. Within about 200 yards the hot air has escaped and I've stopped sweating!!
