Have a look here mate. :y

More likely to by the miggy curse; the HBV (heater bypass valve) that site at the rear of the engine, which commonly fails every so often.
Awkward to replace, cost about £40, but can soo be done. ;) ;)

Hope you used a genuine Vx one or you might find yourself doing it again sooner than you would like!
