OK, I know how diesel engines work, but I’m not quite sure why it takes longer for them to warm up – both for starting and for putting into gear – than gasoline engines.

Everything else being equal, a diesel engine also will be hevier, because pressure on the pistons was muth higher. The reinforcement to cope with these pressures is extra metal that needs to be warmed.
