"Instant Heat on a Cold Morning"
Confused I am talking about using residual engine heat to warm the cars interior - there will be no residual heat in the engine first thing on a cold morning?
The BMW system used a Sodium heat store that you can re activate the next time you use the car. I believe it works like the gel hand warmers that release heat when the turn to a solid form. Series 1 V8
Series 2 Hibrid V8
Discovery 3 HSE V8
