Then when you get up to go to work you will b warm.
Serious, maybe thermostat is stuck open.......
Extend ducted heating to garage, leave car windows open, set ducted to come on 1hr befor you leave for work
How long does it take for the needle to get to the normal position?

BUT, it is working fully by about the 700m mark which must be 2-3mins I'd say, that is including 6 degree mornings. The temp gauge moves only about 10% of the way to normal.
The best engine for warming up are subarus, both my old 2007 Forester XT and 2011 Outback are both working by the end of the street, thats about 1-2mins tops. Hot air before the temp gauge even moves!!

My D-Max took at least 5min to put out warm air, but my 150 seems to take 3min at the most. I normally start the car then do my boots up. By the time I get in the heater's doing it's job. It was one of the many small things that made me realise I'd made a great decision upgrading to the Prado.
