Cold heater
Right, my s2 heater is rubbish and is only blowing a small amount of heat.

My temp goes to half way when ticking over but while driving it goes right down. Will this matter?

Sounds like a faulty thermostat causing the heat issue (Stuck open)

Will that affect the heating? Like right now the temp is half way but the heaters are a tiny bit hot. If I drive the temp goes down but the heaters will still be as rubbish

Yes the heating system is an extension of the cooling system, so if the engine is not reaching normal running temperature the heater will mirror this.

But I'm guessing its something else as even with the engine hot the heaters are still cold. Might try changing the matrix I guess

You could try flushing the matrix as that may be blocked, but if it's that causing the leak, then it will need to be replaced anyway.
