seems like a chav mod, i have never felt the need for a remote start.

In winter i go out, scrap the windows if its frosted. I do NOT start the car, after its all scraped off, i get in, and drive off.

Simple.

Omega climate control, will not blow any air until it reaches the temp you set anyway. And cars with older systems will just blow cold air, steaming the car up anyway!

Its must be good for the environment for people to start these cars running for no reason, other than lazyness.


Must be even better driving off in a car where the screen could ice over or mist up on the inside without notice so that you cant see where you are going.

Errr  :-/ - Omega climate won't blow any hot air unless it can reach that temp.

So even if you start it, and drive off 3/4 mins later its still the same as starting off and driving off instantly.

It will heat up faster under driving anyway, so i renew my opinion on these pointless chavvy accessories

but letting it warm up for a bit before you get in it helps on a really cold morning

you won't see me sat in the car driving and being really cold with a wolly hat and a scarf ;D

I have been doing this on winters mornings for years, in all sorts of cars,  get into a nice warm car with the windows defrosted. :y
I have to do this manually though so hit the front an rear demist buttons and turn up heat full and go and finish my cup of tea, keys in the car as well.  swmbo does it to hers and hers is parked on the road. ::)

Scruntie, I remember having to do that with diesels, not sure you need to do that now, my Citroen is diesel and makes no apparent difference. :y :y

Sorry Nick, got carried away, great idea.... :y :y

But aren't you supposed to let the car warm up anyway before moving? That way you don't damage the cats

you all fail to realise that driving will heat the car up much faster than leave it idling on the drive. Engine revs will be up, faster coolant circulation.

During the winter i leave at 7 am, its frosted, get back to station at 8pm its frosted, never had a need to sit there 'warming it up'

just drive you wimps
