    2004 TF 135 - my daughters car, her daily driver. The story from the beginning
    Clutch diaphragm collapsed. After some searching found a local garage to replace the clutch in a reasonable time frame and cost.
    Got them to change cam belt and water pump at the same time.
    Car returned with working clutch but with coolant leak. Back to the garage for 3 days “ replacement “ part needed, no extra charge.
    Since then unable to get the heater to blow hot.
    Read all the forum(s)
    So, bled the system from all three points three times. Run 2.5 litres of coolant through the heater bleed nipple.
    Run the engine to operating temperature, gauge mid scale, both main pipes at front and radiator get hot, radiator cooling fan kicks in cools rad and drops out. Gauge still mid scale.
    Checked heater control operates valve by observation. Heater pipes get warm felt through ash tray hole in centre console.
    Turn on fan, blows Luke warm for a short time then blows cold, obviously cooling the matrix.
    Expansion tank level rises with temperature.
    Does not seem to be any coolant flow in the tank when the engine is running, is that correct?
    Is it possible that the “ replacement part” has been incorrectly re-piped? Not sure at this time whether this was the 4 way connector or PRT.
    Any assistance much appreciated. Don’t know where to go next. It can’t be that difficult.
