Hi Tony, Still havent figured out what it is, like i said i did a complete flush of the system and tested the thermostat. And nothing has changed, I've noticed there are hoses going from the cooling system to the car which I'm going to check at the weekend. A friend said it mite be sommat electrical which i really dont want to do myself because I know nothing about car electrics. I mite take the car to an auto electrician to see if they can determine the problem and fix it.

I will report back at the weekend with my finding's if no one has found out what the problem is before.

When mine went it was the resistor in the heater/blower (Mk1 Phase 1). Was a 'simple' case of removing the blower from the scuttle and replacing the resistor, Cost £11.75. Getting blower in and out was a task and a half, involved removing the ECU, offside wiper motor etc and wiggling the blower out.

Apart foerm that, is quite an easy fix.

Symptoms were, blower worked at all speeds, but only cold air. As usual, it failed in the winter :-)
