I know how you feel - have the same problem. Have you checked the Heater Bypass Valve?
-
Sounds like the pypass valve...
Two possibles.
1) Vaccum pipe issue
2) Water pipes connected wrongly.....

On my old Omega I had to flush the heater rad about 4 or 5 times before it was finally sorted. Each time it would be hot for 1 or 2 days then back to cold, flush it out again and then warm again for a while and so on.
Perserverance in my case paid off.

sorry to hijack thread but did it just start working properly? as i also have found this to work for a day or two, but no long term fix other than i could go for a 50mile drive with no heat but part way through journey heater will work then not work
