Problem 1 - Temp Gauge

[Apollo]

My temp gauge sits right at the bottom, sometimes it fluxuates rapidly for a minute or 2 then drops back down to the bottom regardless of how long iv been running. I also feel a strong heat from the dash board after driving for a while.

First things first you'll need to replace the thermostat and give the coolant system a flush and re-bleed it this should sort it out!

Ok i'll try get a thermostat at the scrap yard. Whats involved in in flushing/re-bleeding the coolant system? I know very little about cars sorry.
