RE: Advice, what do you want to know?

As far as a garage is concerned, try http://www.oc-motorsport.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, highly rates on here and on zsoc.com.

Welcome along mate!

does the car have any service history with it? the 1.7 engine requires a cambelt change ever 5years or 80,000 miles whichever comes first
As for your heating problem could be the Heater Control Valve (HCV) or a faulty sensor...someone may be able to help you further with this

The garage has been mentioned but there is a section 'garages praise and woes' which will help you in the future also

 

[beconboy]

service history no cambelt has been done got proof of that bought the car cheapish fellow was in money troubles


and clutc has been done just some little silly issues with it thanks :thumbs:

Keys i guess would be E-BAY and program it your self using the guide on here

 

[beconboy]

thanks for that :thumbs:

You may need to get the key programmed to start the ignition by Ford or a Autolocksmith depending on how many keys you have now.
