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
