any ideas?

is the engine getting warm? and are the pipes going to the matrix getting warm ?could also try pulling off both heater matrix hoses and flushing with a hose pipe have known them to block up soild especially if the coolant is a bit dirty

engine was deffo warm id been out in it for nearly 2 hours, ill try the pipes tomorrow

checked the pipes going to the matrix, left hand pipe gets hot but right hand pipe stays cold, any ideas?

then to me its looking more like the matrix is blocked ,worth pulling off the hoses and flushing it out .if the coolant was flowing othrough the matrix both pipes would be warm

ill give that a go tomorrow then, im assuming a hose will be fine to flush it out?

yes ,the water should flow easy through it (you are going to get wet)flush it from both sides of the matrix keep changing from side to side until it runs clean good luck

if this cures it dont forget to put antifreeze back in as its not just antifreeze its also prevents corrosion

ill give that a go tomorrow, got some anti freeze waiting to go in when this is sorted
