Just hired a Vivaro and the temp guage doesn't move and the heater blows
cold, even after a long trip home through traffic.

Anything I can hit with hammer, got a 450 mile trip tommorrow and don't
fancy freezing to death!

It's a Vivaro; according to a local van rental company that has been in
business for over 20 years, one of the most unreliable vehicles they have
ever had. They only rent theirs out if nothing else is left, and cross
their fingers until it is back.

Wear a thick coat, and pray that's the only fault...
