Hi mate I reckon it's just the heater matrix that's gone, it's a very common fault. yeah Nick is good even though his phone manner sucks and he is constantly busy. he's a good mechanic. worth getting someone else to do it though, it's a bitch of a job, I saw you as well mate, Always keep my eye out for other Vrs in S Yorks ...not many about these parts

edit....no i don't think you'd lose any water .

I always thought it was just a case of a new thermostat when the heater starts blowing cold? Has been the case from my experience anyhow
