All of my SD1s had engine block heaters, pretty standard here whenever you buy a car to fit an electrical heater if it hasn't already got one. Couldn't imagine going through a winter without one, that plus a cabin heater. But 3kw sounds a lot for my fuses to handle think mine were something like 150w, and I generally have them plugged in for an hour before it's warm enough to defrost the car. Still got a SD1 block heater in a drawer somewhere.
