journeys

I am picking up an 08 plate FR TDi next week and would like to hear what people think about motorway driving whilst the engine is cold. My commute to work is a very short hop to the motorway, a 5 minute blast down it, and a very short hop the other side to the car park. My current Golf barely...

Hi All, I know this has been discussed 'many' times before but i need a specific answer, i drive to work which is only 2 miles away so takes me less than 10 mins even in traffic. From reading posts on here short journeys are not good for the car so i always take it easy for the whole journey...
