Any ideas greatly appreciated.

replace the heater control valve, these are common for failing, the valves
are basically continuously working in and out, their speed and opening
aperture controlled by the hot/cold knob on your heater control panal.
they are situated underneath the wipers between the engine bay and the
dashboard. not too hard to get to.
only available from ford main dealer also. i think about £70.

Thanks Steve
I have removed the wiper arms, cowl top grille, and revealed the afore
mentioned valve.
I took it for a short run before hand, the pipes on the engine bay side are
hot, whereas the pipes on the other side of the valve are cool, so it looks
like you have located the problem.
Thanks again
j.
