What he said

Whassup then?

Passenger side door lock don't work ,it locks or unlocks with the central locking, rear doors and side door the same but can live with that most annoying thing is the heater is crap only just gets warm but put the fans on and its cool again oh and someone has nicked the rubber strip that runs up the windscreen and over the roof. Apart from that top van

If some doors work & some don't, I would check the wiring into the door. Almost all the similar faults I have seen are caused by the wires snapping inside the rubber sleeve.

Easiest way to check for continuity is to remove the door card and see if there is a feed to the solenoid.

If they work, but there is no locking function, check for mechanical function, such as broken clips or disconnected levers.

As for the heater fault, I would guess either an airlock, partial blockage or partial function of the control valve.

However, my first thought would be a duff thermostat. They usually fail safe, in the fully open position. Remove it and pp it into a basin of freshly boiled water to see if you can see it open. If it's already open, replace it with a new one.

Hi, and welcome,

right enough..,
however;
sounds like you've only got dissipated heat there

so I'd go for airlock as #1 . = coolant NOT circulating through matrix.. so putting the fans on soon runs out of the little heat that has transferred through:bang:

:idea:where does the coolant temp sit..?? if it only ever gets to half-way when sitting, cooling to 1/4 when driving then it'll be new thermostat time..,

have fun..!!

( how were the races at Donnington..??)
