Warm up times
Would just like to ask what is the average warm up time before you can drive the car from cold some sites say till temp gauge half way and revs 750rpm.
just am waiting a good 5mins before it gets to that temp and can drive each time.
also what level should oil pressure be as mine is 2 notches over half way, is a new car owned for 3 days so just lil things id like to find out thanks

The only time you need to wait 5min is if your only moving it a few inches like you would at a car wash. But you can take off whenever but i wouldnt advise you to go WOT until you reach normal temp......

I, among others, use the air pump as the release trigger to start driving after firing it up. Turn it on, and wait till the air pump stops it's function/noise, then put into gear and pull away. I don't pound on the go pedal or get above ~4.5k rpm until the engine warms up. Happens quick enough when even low load driving.
