Where i live it gets extremely cold in the winter! Last year it was -27 for a good 3 weeks or so. This in my mind causes catastrophic cold grinding wear from cold start. Cant help thinking that heating the Block - Coolant - Oil would cut fuel consumption and extend engine life and reduce defrost time.

Any ideas how would be the best way to do this? Home made ideas plans etc etc. I know you can get dip stick heaters, magnetic sump heaters, coolant pump heaters, just want to find a cheap way to make or buy one.

Cant seem to find a decent uk supplier so that info would be great too. Worth a wee discussion?

Thanks for all your help
