Thermostat OK?
Heater pipes right way around?
Matrix blocked?
Electric valve damaged?
Blender flap cable adrift?

Oh dear! Yes, it's normal. Bottom to top, water flows. Top to bottom, it potentially damages the valve. I hope you didn't connect a hose up properly and apply high pressure.

Were the thermostat change and flush attempts to solve the problem, or has it appeared since?

no didnt try hy pressure,just held it on,ive flushed it every day for the last 8 days or so till it ran clear as the coolant was a very thick almost oil like rusty shit,and ive changed the thermostat becase of the lack of heat,my next step will be to see if the heater control is fully opening, cheers brian

The blender flap lever can just about be seen on the RH side of the heater box by removing the under dash panel on the driver's side.

"Cheers mate?!" I think that should be; thank you for your help, Sir.
