    Hey Folks

    My mate at works wife has a Mini one 2003 and the heating has just stopped working ie not producing any hot air.

    Anyone have an idea what could be wrong / is it a difficult thing t fix?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Most likely to be the heater matrix. Heard of this a few times. Have they checked under the carpets to see bid there is any water ??

    I'm with Craig, but. make sure there is water in the reservoir bottle, potential leak place, look for tell tale signs of no water, over heating and green residue under the reservoir itself

    Is there coolant in it? If not then top it up, if the heater has no water in the matrix you will need to blend the system, there are three bleed screw although you normally get away with only two,

    And also, didn't the early models have faulty radiators from the lower weld?
