Hi Tiggey,

The problems you have are pretty minor, compared to some.

1. The cold-only heater is an easy fix. Try a caustic soda flush . On the back of the radiator at the bottom-drivers side, is a tap. Actually , even better, there is a "Walkthrough" in the relevant section.

(The centre vents only ever blow cold air)

2. If you take out the spare wheel , and the side boot liners , you will see three drain holes , one under the spare wheel, and one in each of the side wells, clear these out with a thin screwdriver/biro/wire hanger. Then make sure your sunroof closes properly, for it is here that that the problem lies ,(the drainage channels corrode and leak into the boot) or it could be the boot lid seal.

3. As for your wet feet , it could be a blocked heater matrix, or blocked drain holes under the bonnet near the scuttle, Clear the leaves, dead cats or old copies of Popular Mechanics!

If this doesn't do it , keep asking, and we will post you in other directions.
