Check it is not airlocked first - search the site for the relevant fix for that.
With the engine warm, turn the blower on and heater set for hot. Both pipes (in and out of the matrix) should be hot, if they are look else where for the problem. If cold try flushing through with an hosepipe from both directions - it might clear some of the crud, but reports suggest it doesn't fix it for long.

Firstly welcome Dave
When they are in good condition the heater on the Scorp gives a really good output, I am with Harry on this one, if you suspect an airlock try parking the car on a good slope or at least with the right hand front wheel up a high kerb.
If you are changing the matrix for another please make sure you have NOT been supplied with a Sierra / Granada matrix which may look similar but does not have the same capacity as the Ultima.
A Warm and Happy New Year
