Cold here at the moment!!!!
My heating doesn't work. Bofore I get ripped off by a dealer, are there any simple checks to get some warm air flowing inside my cab???

Thanks
 
Funny you should ask.
There is one very good way that I know of that my grandfather taught me back when I was knee high to a grass hopper.
He taught me all sorts of things that have served me well throughout my 30 oddyears on this planet....er what was the question?

Sprouts and/or beans, that'll get the warm air flowing. Might also want to put a jumper on, and possibly some sort of hat. ;);):p:p

@ OP

Put a flush through the system, then drain, then flush using hosepipe. then refill. then bleed, then check again.

I would not be going to a dealer and paying for something that I could do at home.

If you search the forum you will find full instructions for flushing/bleeding your system.
 
fuse? just blown one of mine and had to change it, failing that is it getting to temperature on the gauge?
 
what's the problem?

doesnt blow? blows but its only cold? bit more information would be brilliant, we cant guess

Thanks for feedback.
Temp gauge working normally. Blows, but only cold air...
 
Take it for a long drive to get properly warm

Pop the bonnet and see whether either hose to the heater box is hot

If one is warmish and one cold, do as Forestofdoom suggests and reverse flush - just clamp the two pipes to avoid too much coolant loss.

If both are cold, could be a faulty thermostat
 
adjust the cables to the heater box?

td5's take along time to get hot, but 200 / 300's warm up well
