Well who waits for the engine to warm up before flooring it if it's hot? |

It takes more than 50 miles to properly warm up an engine and get even temperatures throughout, and that's an average size car engine......

Despite the fact that I never thrash mine, I asbsolutely wait until the engine is up to temp until thinking about getting spirited with my right foot. |

My X5 (4.4 petrol) used to tell me if I was being too heavy footed when cold. I dont want to test the Range to find out if it does the same. No7 - 2003 V8 Vogue |
