Heater only cool on mondeo Mk2?

The heater on my mondeo mk2 is slowly getting colder and colder, the fan works well but it takes forever to warm up, any clues ??

1) Thermostat opening at too low a temperature.
2) Heater matrix furred up.
3) Gunge in pipes/hoses.
4) Operating levers/cables have come loose.

If the engine runs at the correct temperature I'd try flushing through the heater hoses and matrix to remove and build up of crud. This should improve the flow of hot water through the matrix.

If the engine runs cooler than it should, check that the cooling fan is not permanently on. If all ok with that then I'd suspect the thermostat. Replace it with a new one.
