Turn the heater off mate ;)

No, seriously, unless you are driving along the motorway it's just not burning enough fuel to get warm, you can try screening the radiator if you like, either wrap a carpet over the grille or slip a sheet of hardboard in fornt of the radiator itself, keep an eye on the gauge.

Chances are the heater is sapping all the heat straight out of the engine though.

Mine is exactly the same. Had a special grill cover for the 200 but Ive never seen one for the 300...
