Diesels don't have a choke. They will start and run as cold as you
like provided the fuel isn't waxing. What a lot of modern diesels have
is a fast idle where they will run faster until the coolant is warmed
up so you get heat from the heater rather quicker than otherwise.
Typically they will be set to idle at 1000 where normal idle will be
750.

Not chokes as such. The earlier XUD's had a fast idle device, a cable
operated wax thingy that was situated on the stat. The later diesels
are electronically managed for fast idle when cold. Fast idle should
be around 1000.
