Well got my licence back last week, and have been driving the ute flat out, but with no heater.

When the car was off the road I hooked the heater back up because it previously didnt have any hoses running to it.

I have checked that there are no leaks in the hoses running to the heater, no leaks in the core, (only by taking the fan out an looking in) the fan is working fine, and I even removed the heater tap from the hoses to make sure that wasnt affecting it. And still no heat. Both hoses are getting hot and are full of water..

Its hard to tell but it seems that if i run if for a long time with the heater on it does heat up only slightly, but only a very small difference between the cold air it normally blows.

Would i be right in assuming that I need to change the Thermostat? Because the car is always running cold according to the temp gauge. Only ever reachs one bar above cold. Or is there an IN and OUT on the Heater core that the hoses are meant to go in. maybe they are around the wrong way? (its an Air con model heater core)

Any help would be appreciated.

And what Temp Thermostat should I get for a 308 on straight LPG? 190?
