no the one in the dash, indicating water temp, should sit about 85-87 degrees ish when up to temp

When I finish work in the early hours and the brass monkeys are about,I usually turn on the re circ button so the same air is being warmed up,found it warms up a lot quicker...but you have to blast the screen now and again to keep clear.

Checked the fuse box ?

Just checked the fuse box and all seems fine. the lights are turning on when i press them (air con and window blower) but thats all that happens.
I removed the fuse and these lights stop.

Unfortunately these lights just dont chuck out enough heat on these cold winter mornings

if it doesn't blow on number 4 ( no resisitor in the curciut) then it points to either fan motor or switch panel....

Have a look in the how-2 section to see how to access the fan to test it..
