Ordered the reader thanks.

Anti pollution warning had also come on so after scratching my head for a while i wiggled the wire that leads to the sensor on the exhaust manifold and all the warning lights are now off!

Heater wasn't getting that hot so I bled system through the cap near to the bulkhead with the cap off the coolant tank and squeezing the bottom hose, got some air out and the heater gets hot now and all seems ok, ............ for now anyway!! :roll: :)
