Sounds like you might have a blockage pal, get some rad flush through it..
I take it your heaters don't even get warm after a good drive?

def sounds like you have a air lock in heater pipes.if you feel the heater pipes that come through the bulk head if they are cold take one of them off and let the water come though the pipe end of the heater till it get warm then refit hope this helps
