At the mo I'm using my 996 for commuting to work

2 miles in traffic

the car is not getting up to temp in this time

Is this a bad idea for my engine ?

I do take it out for longer blast as well durring the week

That kind of journey is not ideal for any car.

As long as you are giving it a good run regularly and keeping the battery charged your 996 should be fine.
