What's the issue with the heater, does it not blow hot or not blow at all.

It doesn't blow hot air, just cold.

looks like the cold heater might be due to the head gasket, not sure though, but down to £200 anyway.

Took the stat out today, and still no heater, so either the head gasket or a major case of trapped air. Would make a great project though, and still drivable |

Jesus christ, what a lot of bickering over a £150 car with MOT.
Anyway, the cooling system on these is an absolute curse word to bleed properly. Chances are it's got an age-related issue AND needs bleeding - I had everyone under the sun tell me our 1.9D had a blown head gasket, and in the end it was just a sludged up radiator meaning bad circulation then incorrect bleeding resulting in constant airlocks. The trick is to make a header tank setup - IIRC we used a 2l bottle and filled it right up whilst bleeding the matrix screw.
OBV: "I would have this off you like a shot if you weren't at the far end of the country when I've no time to sort logistics". Wish I'd seen it when it was first posted.

IMHO try filling up the header tank to the filler neck part, right to the very top. At this very point (whilst being ready to keep the header tank topped up to the filler neck) undo the heater matrix bleed screw and the air should come out. Even on my BMW (with the heater hose this time) it cured the airlock.
On many Pugs this procedure has served me well (including a 106 which had no heater and I suspect was sold due to a misdiagnosed HG (I went on to drive the car for 2 years after this).
Have a bump.

Thanks for the bump, but the car doesn't have a header tank, just a load of bleed screws and a radiator cap that are lower than the highest hoses, so airlocks are guaranteed. Also my spare time is spent on her latest car, so no time to persevere with the ZX.......  |

A good way to do it is to get the front wheels on ramps or jack the front end, that helps.
