Morning. A couple of questions on the heater and fan are there known bits that need clearing out at all as mine dose seem to blow very hard on full mainly the side vents for the side windows and never seems to get very warm even when the engine is up to temp. I have a 2002 model any input would be greatly appreciated

There are 2 white plastic lever assemblies either side of the blower that are operated by wires from the dash. These are both exposed to errant feet and get brittle with age. Check they're functional. Then there is a little access slot on the passenger side where the cabin filter may or may not be check that for debris. After that it's a matter of taking the dashboard out to get at the actual matrix and blower to assess those. It may also be prudent to flush the cooling system thoroughly with the heater on full go.

Sounds like a control issue at that point or a partial matrix block. Good luck.

Coming back to this as the weather is cold again my heater is still not the warmest. Are there pipes I can disconnect to flush just the heater matrix ?

A good question - my heater doesn't seem half as good as the one in my neighbour's Jimny!
