Heater packed up!

Hi all
Can anyone tell me where the thermostat is located in a Meriva 1.4 2012 reg. Also the heater matrix?
Mine has just suddenly packed up and just blowing out cold air. I'd be grateful for any advice please
Regards

Denise

    On the front left of the engine, very simple to replace.  Loads of Youtube video ho tos.  Is your temp gauge showing low ?

    The heater matrix is probably hidden somewhere inaccessible behind the dash. Even with a faulty thermostat you'd still get a warm heater, you'd just have to wait a bit longer for it to get warm.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
  • Possibly a problem with the flaps/doors which direct hot and cold air, or a mixture of both, to the vents and/or accross the heater radiator?
