No heater and engine overheated ... please help!

Check the viscuous hub bearing and belt tensioners too.

Viscuous hub bearing? ( is that the servo pulley below the water pump ? I've checked that and it also seems ok ).

Belt tensioner seems fine ( I did the screwdriver extra pressure and the noise is still there so I don't think the penny will help ... I think the noise is defo the pump ).

An update ...

A couple of days and all seems well. It's starting fine and runnning well ( apart from singing noise ). I keep checking the expansion tank and each time I undo the cap there's a slight hiss but still no explosion so I'm hoping that's saying there's no great pressure building up in there.

Temp gauge is staying solid at about a 1/3rd and the heaters are blowing nice and hot.

The water level is still holding it's own with no noticable water loss but I've only been driving locally.

Viscous hub bearing would be the pulley that holds the fan assembly, my bad
