My wife has a nissan bluebird that takes forever to heat up compared to my nissan primera which only takes about 5min to reach half way on the temp gauge,could this be just a faulty thermostat in the bluebird or in fact have no thermostat!

Sounds like a thermostat issue. Either stuck open or not there.

Empty out half the radiator. That will help it heat up.

As it's an old Nissan, the radiator will already be half empty.they're shockers for water leaks.!

Not Fiats, they just have opportunities to find out how much cheaper buying parts from overseas can be.

One of my vehicles is like that in the winter on cold days/nights, never heats up to get any heat from the heater. I just cut a board to sit in front of the radiator, only covering about a third of it but need to remember to take it out on warm or hot days.

Yeah funnily enough my Avenir does the same. Well it heats up OK but doesnt pump out hot air thru the heater.Still its just the gopher car and only used on short pick-up trips.
