Hello all, I've only bought my mini recently and haven't had the time to give it a good going over yet, so I'm not sure of all the things that need tweaking... One thing though that definately does is the heater. It doesn't blow hot. Does anybody know why this might be please as it's bloody cold! Thank you  |

Could be an air lock in the heater.

Is the heater tap operating freely?.

My dad reckons it could be the thermostat (haven't looked yet though).
Excuse my ignorrance but what & where is the heater tap?

its attached to the engine via a cable going into the car. Where you got all your switches for lights etc its the pull cable on the right makes it is working ( U can pull it in and out) as that operates the HOT & COLD tap.

Ah ok then the heater valve will be next to the heater rather than in the engine bay like earlier minis
