I’ve just ordered a Q&H branded thermostat, so hopefully that will do it for me ;-) I think it’s a Q&H in the Saloon that is working well - temp mid gauge.
My 2+2 1600 CVH takes about 4 miles/5mins to warm up so it’s showing on the temp gauge and starting to blow warm air. It then just sits above the blue section on the gauge when driving along. Sitting in traffic the gauge goes up to mid level. But even so the heater works OK. after 15 mins and 11 miles I have to get out at work and the whole cabin is warm by then, I am turning the heat down before that. So it sounds like you need a new thermostat as well. Or is the heater matrix getting clogged? Is the vent control working? ie. the engine is warm but you are not. You can get various engine/cabin preheaters and I now have one to experiment with. I am going to try a low power heater pad stuck to the sump to warm the oil when I change the engine on the 2+2. I would like to try a coolant circuit water heater after that for comparison. Both are 240V pre-plug heat for 15-20 mins before use. Or with the pad you could just leave it on overnight for an early start, if you want. Some water heaters are thermostatic, but would be expensive to run for hours on end.
