French, this might be my issue actually. They've got a mess of hoses and whatnot going on behind the engine. |

Yeah, it can seem a mess sometimes🤪
Just check that the heater return line goes back into the hard pipe under the rear RHS of the car.
Once that is checked/OK, you can see where they've fed the heater from?
The advice on the T-stats is good as well and should be followed through. However, I run a 3-core radiator, without under heating problems. In fact it's the reverse on my turbo engine: I have had too much heat energy to dissipate in the past!
Keep going, you'll fix it in the end😉👍------------------

Well update, it was in fact the way the heater hose was ran. Aside from the miles of excess heater hose, the core was actually being fed off from a T they installed.
