can someone tell me the weather temp extremes in which this car should operate it has let me down badly!!! and the dealership are obnoxious, and I wouldnt buy a peddle bike off them! I used too own citrons (diesel) which drove quite happily even down at -20c
 
Diesel fuel in the UK has additives to take it down to -12C in the UK. Any less than this and regardless of the fact that the vehicle could run at lower temperatures, the diesel will turn waxy and render it useless. Diesel 4x4s are not the best option in extreme cold.
 
Diesel normally goes gloopy and sticky at about -15c. It doesn't do the car any long-term damage, it just won't start until it's warmed up. Maybe you kept your old car under different conditions(in a garage, sheltered, not sitting unused for as long, etc) or maybe it had a different fuel system that wasn't as exposed to the cold for as long
