Unhappy Heater problem???

Hi guys and girls, could anyone shed any info as to why i have not heat coming out of my Fiesta 1.25 zetec y reg. I have drained the system and have flushed it through and have retopped it with fresh anti-freeze. I have run the engine and the temp is normal and not over heating, but only cold air is coming through the heater. Any suggestions would be gratefully received...

I may be wrong here, but I think your car is the one that has a water valve on the bulkhead, that are notorious for giving trouble, it may be that hot water is not actually getting to the heater to start with if this valve is duff.
It should be visible on the bulkhead somewhere with two water pipes going to/from it and a cable or wire connector from the heater control.
