The heat in my 96 discovery doesnt work. If you leave the heat off for awhile you get a blast of heat for maybe 20 seconds. It also works first when you turn it on. This is a real pain in the ass. Any suggestions would help. Its cold and I need my heat. Thanks Sean |

maybe thermostat. If so does anybody kow how much a new thermostat is? Is it hard to put in? And is there a really good chance that this is the problem.. Thanks Sean |

Do you have any coolant left? Is it full? |

Check the coolant level. Make sure you have level at full or near full. If it still doesn't give you heat, change the tstat. I just went through this couple weeks ago. Do a keyword search on thermostat or tstat and it should come up with threads that have pictures and part numbers for the thermostat. It's simple to do yourself. |

If the t-stat doesn't work try using a garden hose and pushing water through the heater core. I noticed you said it will work for about 20 seconds so my thought would be no coolant flow. It is a simple test 1. Remove both heater hoses 2. Push water through with a hose This will either push out whatever is in the heater core or tell you if it is plugged. |
