I have a Ford KA Now (2001) and the heater is only blowing cold air and I was told to fill the radiator bottle as this may help to ge the heator working again because air might have got into it but where around the engine is it located ?

The probability is the heater valve has failed. It is located under the bonnet in the centre near the windscreen.
If i were you i'd pop into a ford dealer & ask one of the technicians for advice... Don't go into the reception, just hang around the reception carpark & ask one of the boys in blue for advice. Most are fine.
If your advised to buy a valve then ask for trade discount, again most will oblige. Alun. Its a common fault on KA's

Hi Mitzi, the bottle is in the back left corner of the engine bay as you look in, make sure the engine is cold before removing the screw cap and preferably cover the cap with an old towel or large rag when un-doing it, a common cause for no heat is the heater valve or the thermostat
