first, check there is water in your cooling system.
if there is, then try swapping the hoses round. this usually works on a fronty. matt 2.8TDI Sport. - 3" lift, 31" Recip Trials, Roof Rack, High Lift, Winch.
could possibly faulty thermostat, or blocked heater matrix.
someone will be along witha fix soon, sean
assuming you have right coolant in and its not overheating reverse the pipes to the heater may be blocked matrix on heater reversing them allows and gunge in heater to flow back to coolant system
A legend in my own mind
When you move the temperature (hot - cold) slider across does it have any resistance on it?
I think it's quite possible that the little wire bit (or lever, can't remember which) has come off either the back of the lever or off the top of the thing which stops or starts the water flowing through the matrix (it's a little valve thing) Si www.4x4search.org - your 4x4 search engine. 100% human submitted and edited!

If you have had the head gasket done that means that the coolant will have been drained down and refilled, so you may have an air lock.

That would be one thing to try before attacking pipes and leavers.
How do I clear the air lock? I am driving to and from work with the heater on hot and have opend the exspanshon bottel onence when the engine was warm. What happens, happens. What doesn't happen is not meant to

run the engine with the cap off till the thermostate opens and just top up as/if needed also squeeze the rad pipes as it warms
You could always just accept (like me) that your heater will never warm up Big Dave

actually, the frontera heater, when in fine working condition, is more than capable of melting the fibres in a cheap pair of Tesco's own nylon trousers.
im not sure of the scientific term for this, but i have an idea i could be the called the slacks scale or saomething... matt 2.8TDI Sport. - 3" lift, 31" Recip Trials, Roof Rack, High Lift, Winch.
I cant see the control leavers on the hoses, are they under the dash or in the engine bay
How Do I swap the pipes without loosing to much water What happens, happens. What doesn't happen is not meant to
