It is probably due to the heater tap (valve) not opening due to it being seized or not having any vacuum to it. The heater tap is in the engine bay on the driver's side, it has 4 hoses connected to it and a thin vacuum hose at the top.

as mentioned, check the little vacuum hose is connected and not perished

not an expensive part if you need to replace the whole tap... pull it up out of its bracket, disconnect hoses and lines, connect hoses and lines to new tap and place it back in its bracket. not a bad idea to replace all the hoses while your there either.

you'll lose some coolant tho so will have to top up and re-bleed the system aswell

Once a week I run the heater up and down to keep tap from being seized.
