  1. Diesel is different. During winter I think the oil company puts a winter additive to liquify the Diesel a little bit. During frost morning I let the engine start and for 10 seconds just let the engine settle and drive off slowly.heat builds up quicker During work. After 5 minutes under 2000rpm I bring up the the revs. Then drive normally. But another fact of having 6 gears is that I often don't get out of 4th gear because I don't go much over 40 mph on the roads with traffic and the twisty roads. So 50 mph I slip into 5th and 60 and above 6th.ive got 154 000 miles on the clock and it's still brilliant and the end of my tailpipe is shiny. Occasionally I will drive the hot engine up a very steep hill at 4000rpm to clean the dpf and sensors. I think people need coaching for the different torque between Diesel engines and petrol. With Diesel the power comes early in lower revs. Hope this helps
