Hi sorry if this has already been covered but basically my heater isn’t blowing hot air, it’s not freezing cold and it’s warmer than when I have the valve pulled fully out but it’s still not warm enough to heat the car.
I have put in a new heater matrix and a new valve and it doesn’t appear to have helped much however a new radiator has also been recently installed so not sure if this would effect how hot the heater gets.

Any help is much appreciated thanks

Valve on the head or the remote type?

 

Easiest thing to check is if the thermostat is working - does the top hose get warm as soon as the temp gauge moves?

Could be airlock , and most minis need more than idle revs to pump water through the heater

Check the hoses to and from the heater, the one ‘to’ will warm soonest. Disconnect the 'from' and backfill the pipe with a watering can, or similar. That should solve an airlock.

Check that the thermostat is working correctly.

Is the valve opening fully also?

Hi sorry to get back late but just checked the pipe and wasn’t much water in it so I think it may have been an airlock, thanks for the replies everyone
