Default Heating issue

I have a facelift V6 and having some interior heating issues. The engine goes to midway and stays theer and all looks good, however I only get hot air in the car when the engine is being rev'd. When it goes back to idle I get cold air in the car??

I had the car serviced and replaced the water pump and the thermostat at the same time (and all of the belts).

Any ideas??

Yes Don.

Whoever did the work for you didn't refill and bleed the cooling system according to the MGR recommended procedure. You have an air lock.

Thanks Simon,
I'll go back to him, in fairness he looks after both of my 75's and has always been good so maybe just a slip up by one of his guys.

There is a --How-To--- you can print out and give to him if he's not too sure of our R75's.----

Thanks for that, I can't see it on the How to list, is it kept elsewhere??

Here it is Don.

Note particularly the raising of the expansion tank and that the bleeding screw is refitted before starting the engine.
