Hello /o/, I have a 2006 Defender TD5. My nearest freeway on-ramp is about a 2 minute drive from my house, and I frequently use it whenever I have to enter the freeway. However, to pick up speed when entering the motorway I rev it a lot before shifting up, and of course this is bad for the engine. The next nearest freeway entrance is a 10 minute drive away, I could do that, but that's taking a long time for me and I'd rather enter the freeway sooner than later.
Does anyone have ideas to warm up the motor quickly? I find it doesn't nearly warm up as quickly standing still as when it's in motion. Sometimes when it's cold in the winter I sit with it on a stationary engine for 3 minutes and it's hardly warming up. I could get the same effect with a 1 minute drive.

You could drive around surface streets for a while before joining the motorway. Or get a remote starter and warm it up remotely.
Or stop being such a little bitch. A few minutes of cold before the engine warms up isn't that fukken bad

Doesn't this cost like 3000 euros? I could buy almost buy a new engine for that.

It isn't? My father recently told me it's a disaster for all the parts.

If you have access to outlet you can get one of those chinese heater pads, glue it to oil pan and set timer to heat oil up I don't know an hour before you usually start your commute. That's what I did it because I'm cheap slav.
There's then classic amerifat block heater.
Nicest thing is full webasto if you have money for it. It'll heat up and circulate water as set with timer/remote, no need for outlet.
