   right i have changed my thermostat, flushed the system out with a hose pipe and filled it back up and bled the system, but its only getting warm not hot!!! i havent had any water in the foot wells so i havent changed the heater matrix. could there be any other problems before i spend my money on a garage fixing it. could it be a blockage ???

   have a search, lots of threads, the trick is to have a column of water higher than the engine. Usually a coke bottle (bottom cut off) rammed into the top of the radiator neck is sufficient. You can not bleed it correctly without this.
