Vauxhall Zafira heater, and temp sensor

Car: Vauxhall Zafira
Variant: 1.8 club
Model Year: 2003
Categories: Leaks & Noises
The heater takes at least 15 miles motorway driving before it starts to warm up. during town driving, stop start mode, it takes about 20 minutes. Also temp gauge remains at zero all the time. The temp sensor on the digital readout, outside temp, fluctuates between dashes and 25 deg plus.
