    choke.if so what revs should the engine read before it is warm and comes
    off choke.

    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.
