Hi John,

I sent you a PM a while back with my contact details on. If you want to pop down with the van I can have a look at it for you. Two heads are better than one as they say.

I have a Hospital appointment this afternoon but the weekend is free if that suits you.

flush all your heating circuit through 1st, if you can ,remove your matrix and give it a good flushing out,reverse flush too checking for leaks! don't put your new thermo in til you've done that.
i have an ldv and the heaters are atrocious but i gave mine a really good flush out and then the induction pipe i changed for a flexi one so during cold weather i put it above the exhaust manifold so warm air passes over the hotter matrix instead of cold air having to be heated up, its improved the heating.

hope this makes sense and helps

have a look on the floor, up forward and central under dash. Have you got [hidden under carpet] a large gas tap type lever?. Some talbots have this as an on/off for the heater instead of the use of the slide control on the dash heater controls. It took me ages to suss it out on my van. I found it when replacing the carpet after suffering the heater being on all summer. HTH.
