Saw this thread and did my own test this morning. LV TDCI Focus.
Started car and drove around 1 km before wife asked me to pull over to check something. Instead of turning off, I let car idle.
Took about 1m to drive the first km then car sat for 5-6 min after that. Car temp gauge didn't move, heat was on full, fan only. Air was very gradually getting warmish.
On 7 minutes we took off again, you could start to feel the heat more now. By 8 minutes, and after another km of driving the needle started to move off cold. By 9 minutes the heat was getting to us so we put it to cold. I think it still took 15 minutes all up to get to correct operating temp.
Perhaps if we were driving it would have warmed up earlier by 2 or 3 minutes.
