Put the heater on full and make sure it's good and hot,are you sure temp sensor is connected?,if heater blows cold air suspect an airlock,don't,then run engine long like that as h/gasket could suffer

Just look at all that space us 2.2ers have.  Enjoyable job to do  With enough space to have a barbie too 

but all cars should have moe doors than cylinders     

t'other way round, no?

.. unless you're a fan of the tin snail?

It was hot when I typed it    ........ glad you were paying attention!

This is probably the cause, the sensor lead just push fits onto the sensor located at the right hand side of the block at the rear (next to the EGR Valve)

Thank you Tunnie,got one £3.75....that will do! (I think?)
Trouble is now the blooming temp gauge 'aint going up!!!

Check the little brass connector on the back of the engine block, can easily pop off this is what feeds the dash gauge

 Thought I had reconnected everything,but will double check as above.
