Typical, now that the weathers turned cold my heaters stopped blowing hot air out. The blower is still working ok, but just blowing out cold air.. Any solutions peeps..?

Could be the cable that changes it from hot to cold from the lever on the binnacle has come lose or something. Can you hear it moving something behind the dash when you move it?

There's a lever on top of the box, put the heater on and move that. If the cable has seized it will stop it switching from cold to hot, it's not uncommon for it to happen cos it's a **** design. Move the lever and if you get hot air then there's your problem.
Can't really be much else, unless your heater matrix is ####ed but if it was youd see it leaking coolant.

They dont have a hot/cold tap rather a flap that just changes the direction of the air bypassing the matrix for cold air.
As said above its a real **** design

Another thread has mentioned the thermostat, they changed it and the result was a toasty warm interior!
