HEAT!! UPDATE:
Stopped at rad specialist, they poked, prodded, squeezed - not enough time to diagnose as they had other commitments - for Friday pick up.
Booked an appointment for next week.
Reconnected with a German car specialist, he said there was heat in 2 top hoses, but cool in the bottom one. Suggested the Rad company I just came from to get a flush and if that didn't work, return to see him.
Perhaps it was blocked, gummed up whatever, he left the defrost on high and suddenly I had HEAT, LOTS OF HEAT BLOWING ON HIGH!
It was so hot, I had to turn the temp down! WOW!!!!
Checked the various levels:
all output working
all options working
It is a 1988 with 185,000 km from the interior BC which doesn't get really cold, so possibly from lack of use it went into semi-retirement
But so far so good!
