    check the heater leaver is moving the cable and that the cable move the leavers on the heat exchangers under the van by the gearbox
    Then check the pipework from front to back for leaks
     
  3. Thanks Matty - that will be on Birdy 's list of "To Do's" :)
     
  4. If youve got cold air blowing on the screen is this when your moving or is it all the time when the engine is running. Sounds like your fresh air vents are open. Not a good start. Sort this before moving on to getting your heating working. Let us know and sure we can talk you though what required (also lots of resources on line to explain how it works!)

    try this:

  5. ^^^ Yeah what he said. Be good to at least stop the cold coming in even if you have no heat :(
     
  6. yeah having the fresh.air vents open won't help as its freeeezin!

    If the blue lever (up) doesn't stop the cold draught, out with your screwdriver, whip off the front grill and investigate/push the flaps shut. I had to do this and also pulled off the cold air lever from the dash for good measure.
     
  8. And gaffer tape the vents up!
     
  9. Thanks guys going to try and look at this over the weekend :)
