The heater in my 325 Chromie is throwing a very small amount of heat out on the passenger side blowers and nothing on the drivers side, tried to bleed the system, undone the bleed bolt nothing came out, so changed the the stat and bled the system still no coolant coming out off the bleed hole, therefore still got the same problem, any ideas. :( , getting cold in the mornings.

Are both of the pipes under the bonnet hot?
Does the one from the rear of the head go to the bottom stub on the bulkhead?
Is the heater fan running properly?

Yes it does, I have water coming out off the bleed hole as there was a slight blockage which I have cleared, but still all near side pipes are cold therefore still no heat.

I seem to be having this problem with m50 , i have come to conclusion my thermostat maybe stuck open , i must sort it out as the ol gal should be back on road end of month and its bloody freezing

Try the ol hot water in a mug trick see if it opens and closes ?
