is the coolant level correct? If there isnt enough coolant then it wont reach the heater matrix.

Yes coolant Level OK, could it be Thermostat ? if so do you know where its located. If not any other possible cause you can think of ! Cheers

Is your dash coolant temperature gauge reading as normal? Thermostat unlikely as coolant flows around heater before thermostat opens. First ensure you do not have an airlock in the system. Warm engine up, set heater to max temp and pump top hose with your (gloved) hand. If no air lock is present it is likely to be a problem with your coolant valve, which is found behind the scuttle cover panel in the engine compartment. This unit controls quantity of hot water admitted to heater matrix. Could be an electrical fault or the valve itself. Not too tricky to do.

Have isolated the problem you were right an electrical problem was the cause , The blower resistor "connector block" seem to have fused/burnt (red/ black cable) will have to be replaced ! do you know of anywhere where on the net . I could get new one ordered , Many thanks for your help. Cheers

Hi I went online and got a really good deal on a heater control for a ford fiesta. The site info is here http://www.breakeryard.com/ford-car-parts/fiesta

They basically do secondhand parts but I'm sure you could find a good deal.

It's probably the heater control valve - a common fault on these and KAs. Get one from Ford and it will last as long as the original.

If the heater resistor connector was truly knackered your fan wouldn't work.
