EGR Clean or Delete?

Yeah sounds fine to me. Mine is sort of the same.

Oh I read another thread somewhere where people said it was ok for it to take that long to warm up.
Mine takes this long only on inner city.

My brothers Leon on a 57 plate diesel 110 takes like 20 minutes in the morning and almost 5 miles to reach just under running temp

Around town is about right but if you're hopping on to main roads etc then IMO it shouldn't be taking that long

I'd get your brothers Leon looked at to be honest - I wouldn't be happy with that!!  Or is that start / stop town driving?

Yeah start stop and maybe about a mile max on dual carriageway.

It warms up but still under running temp in the middle of the guage.

He asked a few people at work before asking me and they all said it was a diesel thing and that they had similar time and distance to running temp.

If on a long journey does it ever reach the middle of the gauge?? If not then the thermostat should be changed

Thats around town for me, if i manage to get onto a motorway then i think it would be quicker, its just i dont like driving too fast with a cold engine, but unless i drive quick it takes forever to warm up lol.
Am i being silly and too cautious?

don't be afraid to rev the engine but use less than 50% throttle    I normally don't exceed more than 3000rpm until warm but don't floor it

Rhyso it does reach normal running temp but just takes ages like 20 mins or 5 miles of start stop so like you say it's probably okish

Yeh same here i just change gears early for a while  
Annoying in the winter though, if i make a short trip i dont even get to feel the heaters
