Default Nil Heater operation in festiva

Heater was working and now there is no hot air whatsoever. Very luke warm out of windscreen demister only. Fan is working great. Car is running mid/low range in radiator temp. Don't really wish to pull dash out as last resort to rectify if possible. Winter is coming on and I don't wish to freeze my n_ts off.
Any help is appreciated.

check that the heater tap/air blend door is not stuck in closed position>Also ,check your heater core and heater hoses are not blocked.

Your thermostat is most likely jammed open. The sooner you replace it the better, as not only will your heater not work, your engine can wear out prematurely.
