As the heading says,saxo heater or rather lack of it,seems to be hot from
radiator top hose to thermostat housing,hot from thermostat housing to what
appears to be a sort of metal oblong with what looks like a bolt on top,but
not from there to heater hose.Radiator heats up and electric fan cuts in
ok.Any ideas please.

Either it's blocked or you've got an air lock or the air flow control
isn't working. Have you changed the coolant recently? Tis my
understanding that most modern cars seem to have the heater constantly
on and just vary the amount of air blown across it to the cabin. So if
it's not heating up in the cab then on or several of the above will
apply.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Unscrew that bolt, wait until the coolant starts leaking and screw back in-
of course while engine working and it`s temperature is >60 C.
