Hi Steve, thanks for the reply.
By a flush do you mean back flush the heater core or just flush the cooling system as a standard flush has already been done with the cambelt and water pump job. If it was the thermostat at fault, am I right in believing
Thermostat stuck open : I start the car after sitting overnight and the coolant temp rises as it should (maybe slightly quicker than other cars I’ve had) and maintains 90 on the readout then I should get some heat once the engine is warmed and I ask for it from the heating controls.
If it was stuck shut wouldn’t I get some heat as it warms and the coolant /engine would overheat?
Apologies in advance if my understanding of this system is basic.
thanks, Lee
