Heating problem

Hi, Iīm driving a Scorpio Cosworth 24 v from 98. I have since a couple of months almost lost the heating inside. It will be a little warm, but not hot as it used to be. My workshop has changed the thermostate and tried to flush the radiator. They say that itīs probably the radiator that should be replaced but are not shure. How shall I (they) continue, what tests can be performed? Yes you are right the Ford workshop should of course know, but they donīt.

You could have an air leak somewhere. Try to park the car facing uphill and run it till it warms the engine. With the coolant cap of....and rev it a few times. This is the easyest fix.

Did they backflush the Radiator or the actual heater matrix? It doesnt take much for the matrix to clog up.

Thankīs for the answers. They flushed the heater matrix. It flushed very well but someone told me that this doesnīt mean for shure that itīs ok ? Anyway I will try the way Octavian described first. Can it be something in the climate control system?
