Spot on!
The thermostat is integral to the thermostat housing so it can't be
removed
to check by running the car without it. To test it, I'd put it in a jug of
hot then cold water: it opens, it closes.
In extremis, I put a collar on to the axial rod to hold the thermostat
open - hey presto! The heater works.
Quite what the problem is, I guess I'll never know - but many thanks for
the
prod to go back and look at the thermostat again. And now - off to
Alfaholics.
