There is something on the market here in the UK that you put in line
with the cooling sytem and that you plug into the mains. It heats
the coolant (water) in the system and has a pump that circulates it,
so pre heating the engine. I saw a fairly new SAAB it the car park
recently with a connector in the grill for the power for such a
thing. I think there is a web site for the product, I'll have a look
for it.
