    The cabin heater produces no heat. Before I got the car the head gasket
    had gone I believe - there is still some oil in the water that I can't
    remove.

    When the water is fully upto temp there is no heat from the cabin
    heater - the fan works - is the heater matrix broke? Anything else it
    could be?

    How big a job (to do myself) is the heater matrix?

    Presumably using a bleed valve or disconnection the top hose and overfill
    whilst reconnecting. make sure you have something to catch the overfill.....
