Flush, Flush and then Flush again....In other words run 6 ton of water through the cooling system with the heater knobs on full and ignition on to ensure a good flush.

If possible blast water through the matrix in BOTH directions...suspect you've either got air or sludge blokeage...Worked for me perfectly on a couple of weeks back...

I second this heartily, in my circumstances it seems someone has filled my system with radweld or some other such gunk, even the drain tap on the rad was blocked. After 2 flushes, the heater matrix blows warm, i suspect after after de-gunking it will all be back to the way it should be.
