... This
year we have a little one to take to the child minders so hectic
mornings, and I have a diesel car which is slower to heat up than a
petrol car. So I was thinking of some type of auxhilliary heater that
can get things going. Any recommendations? - most of the 12V lighter
socket ones seem to have poor reviews. Simon.

If you think you're badly off, you need to try an electric car heater!
:-)

Serious question - are the heating facilities in an electric car
sufficient to make the car practical at, say, -10C ? The battery range
must be drastically reduced I would have thought.

Good question - most batteries don't work too well when very cold either.

Perhaps they use a wood burner to keep them warm? ;-)
