Is it normal for an LR4 V8 engine to take 30 mins to move only a quarter from cold on the dash during idle? Upon driving it warms right up into the middle within 2-4 mins. I don't normally warm the lr4 up, i just start it and let it idle down and drive it softly until it warms up which is within 5-10 mins, but one day i started it in 30 degree weather and left it running to find it barely warm after 30 mins of idling. I have many other cars that warm up fully within 10 mins at idle. I do have a ticking fan clutch and i notice the fan is always engaged. Maybe the thermostat is stuck open as well? Any ideas? is this normal for an LR4?
