Check that the two pipes going to the heater, the ones in the centre of the bulkhead are hot. If not you have an air-lock.

If your coolant temp gauge doesn't rise to about 80 - 90 within 10 -15 mins, it could be the engine thermostat .

.....and to solve the airlock...

The left hand pipe that goes into the bulkhead from the engine bay has a little hole in it. What you need to do is release the clip from the pipe and then very carefully partially pull the pipe off the spigot until you see the 'little' hole in the spigot. Once exposed, air will either rush out and you'll start getting water through or you'll have to fill it up via this hole.

also....

Is the clima display flashing for 15 seconds when the ignition is first on ?
If so, you may have a fault. And if you do have a fault and if the airlock scenario proves ok, then the fault is likely to be the heat control flap motor on the main heater unit.
