   Heaters that run off the battery would be nice like the ones in newer cars, even if they do get cold eventually lol

   As far as I know they can`t be upgraded bleed the cooling system,my heater pushes out very warm air.

   sorry,never heard of an upgrade and tbh why would you want to? Citroens and Peugeots have the best heaters i've known and half the reason i run Berlingos lol,rest of the cars are gash but the heaters,if working correctly,are mint!

   Right ok if i bleed the system it should help me with mine? Dont get me wrong it comes out warm but on the motorway it comes out cold because of all the cold air or is this common?

   Provided your heaters are turned up & working properly it shouldn`t matter where your driving.motorway driving won`t affect it 1 little bit.
