Being what is known as old school I have always started the van and let it run a few minutes before driving off to allow the oil to get round the parts that need it especially the turbo. Also after a hard drive I allow the engine to tick over for a few minutes before switching off. I was always taught never to work a cold horse or put away a hot one.
I have noticed more than ever people starting up and driving off immediately without warming there engine and switching off as soon as the vehicle stops. On motorways in France more so than here in the UK its seems the practice on service areas to open the bonnet on cars to allow the engine to cool down. What do you funsters do ?.
