Car is a 106 1.5 diesel. It runs fine and drives good ect but...
It uses water, not sure if its a leak or something more serious.
Also the heaters dont work. Now I know these will be related sooo what can I do. Iv filled the water up and heater still aint working. Any ideas, I dont fancy having to do a head gasket, not that it will be hard on this car as there is plenty of room

i think you get it up to temp with the cap off the coolant tank and heaters on hot full blast and let it bubble for a bit i think..

Get it up to temp, leave the coolant tank cap off and gently squeeze the radiator hoses - then you'll see the bubbles come up and escape through the tank. So I've been told, never experienced it though.

Oil is fine, no watert in it, collant has no oil in it either, Pretty sure iv got a leak and have developed an air lock because the water has been disapearing since i got it and only now the heaters wont work
