Morning men. Think I have problem with heater/cooling.
Left car for 20mins ticking over to clear ice but it didn't seem to have any effect. Temperature was at 80 degrees on gauge but air was cold from heater. As soon as I increased revs or drive off heat actually started building out of heater vents.
Car does not overheat or smoke.
Any ideas what I should start looking at first?
Cheers.

So just to clarify - as heater will not blow hot air until I drive the car no matter how long I leave it ticking over and the expansion is full so I'm just trying to see if there is air in the system do I need to have engine running while I undo bleed points and should I undo them one at a time ?Dunno
