No heater

[ronnie]

After a good run today the heater went cold , pulling into the first available layby I assumed there was no water in the engine and would be overheating . There was plenty water in the engine and engine running at a good temperature . Any ideas appreciated

It's usually a sign of low water level....... but could be a sign that gas is getting into the cooling circuit - from a leaky head gasket...... Or perhaps the fan belt is slack? Or simply that the heater valve has slipped shut? Did you by any chance buzz through Hamilton on friday??

Hi Roy fan belt ok water level ok and I'm sure the valve is open. I'm going to check the hoses tomorrow as they look if not original very old , no where near Hamilton on Friday Roy

Oh well - a Minor buzzed through the top cross near lunch time. Could be a hose kinked shut - but how that could suddenly happen I don't know.....

last time this happened to me it was the water pump on its way out
