Make sure your windscreen is still attached 
Have you got climate control?
Try a reset.
My moneys on a blocked heater matrix though, once the engine is up to temperature feel the two heater pipes inside the engine bay, both should be hot, if not you have a blockage or an airlock

Now that had me almost changing my undies 
Yep - I reckon it's a blocked heater matrix too... see if your garage can use compressed air pipe to flush the system and unblock it otherwise it's a case of stripping out the dash, removing the matrix and hoping a flush of any built-up sludge will sort it out...
Mine's being done as I type this... 
I only wanted a cheap runaround... I won't tell you how much I've spent in the past 8 weeks! Just hope the autobox holds out for a few months yet

Has restored. To whom it is interesting: water under pressure in 3 atmospheres to clear a matrix not probably, I used compressor air in 10 atmospheres, air moved impulses, changing a direction.
