heater not working and the mornings are getting cold . any ideas ?
Thermostat stuck open/closed
Airlock
No coolant(!)
control valves or lever/wire etc. stuck/bust/come loose
It's French, therefore it's broken.
Lol - I agree, but can't help smiling that you said that despite the ownership of several Italian cars.

It's the switch then.
Options.....
1) get a new one from main dealer2) get a used one from breakers yard
3) keep it hotwiredaccording to how long you intend to keep it etc
So you mean the heater fan doesn't work?
Check the fuse. remove and bypass the speed resistor pack/wiring.

Possible - Gauge should be reading cold if it was stuck open. It would blow the head gasket if stuck closed - believe me, I know!
Nah, see above.

Most likely, s**te French electrics.
cheers guys think i gonna wire it direct to battery with an in line fuse and a switch
