yeah, sounds more like the valve, coz both the pipes on the matrix are hot..

IIRC this valve is powered closed so to make it perminantly open you simply need to un-plug it, its on the passenger side in the footwell i think.

Check that the heater hoses under the bonnet are on the stub pipes the correct way around.
