Mini 1275 mpi 2000

Heater only cold, i have checked the heater valve on the side of the heater box which seems to be opening & closing ok & noticed that the hose to the valve is not hot, The car seems to be running at the normal temp & cooling fan coming on & off as normal !

Any suggestions what to look at ?

Cheers

best bet would be to flush the system,and take the water pump off and check its ok

Yeah would second that. Flush should hopefully sort it out.

The only time i experienced the cold heater effect, was when my water pump stopped spinning. Make sure you actually take it off and have a good look, i simply just looked at it when the engine was running. It appeared the pulley was spinning, so i figured all was fine, but when i removed it and had a proper look the pulley turned but the impeller didn't. New water pump fitted and a few flushes later and the heat returned
