Post Proper Cold Starting Drill

No one has covered this yet , there might still be the red card detailing this in the glovebox...

cycle the GP's twice , throttle to the floor and DO NOT let off the starter until all five cylinders are firing.....

DieselGiant sells affordable radiator hose heaters , these work well and you get instant heat too...

Block freeze plug heaters are best yes but you're busy and not a thing wrong with the lower radiator hose heater...
