Checked the coolant level and pipes. They all look fine. No obvious leaks on radiator.

Thermostat should be straight forward swap. There are also a couple of flaps/valves which can get stuck and not release the flow to the heater matrix. They are down near the wings somewhere (the posts are on here somewhere but cant give link as they are on my home computer.)

Bit of an update, blows out hot from windscreen blower and from feet and back seat blowers, only cold from front facing blower. Dial underneath vent makes no difference |
