done it today and on initial run up the needle went to the middle and stayed there and when i got in the car it was very warm in there
followed what it said in the haynes manual and didnt seem to have a problem bleeding the system(so far lol)

Good, sounds like that's fixed the issue. Bleeding the system isn't difficult but sometimes it can be a pain to get all the air out.

Just be aware - the thermostat's can often in cold cold winters loose heat
if you have the heaters on full chat and driving - there is alot of cold cold cold air passing over the Nice hot radiators / Matrix
Since there is a great difference in temperatures, it allows a much greater co-efficent transfer of heat
As a result - it kinda over cools, and without realising - you can stop dropping a few knotches on the heat
I find sitting on recirculate air helps - as warm air passes once cabs warmed up
My work vans are terrible for it and there brand new!

Ive wondered from cold to hot if it helps
In thoery there is gonna be warming air going back over if set to recirculate
But leaving it on fresh air its aways cold air....
Could do with a idle test lol

Just do a Cold morning test
Get 3 identical temperature morning starts Cant be that hard this time of year
1 With Fan on Recirculate Speed 3
1 with Fan on Fresh Speed 3
1 Without Fan
What warms up quickest?
I vote without fan, i dont bother driving with fans on because my work run is sooo short, i ONLY jusr get hot by time i get there and im shutting it down
Fans just make it alot slower.... unless its badly frozen so i give it 3mins to start befor i start water thawing
