Turn your heater control to full (hot) and undo the hoses going to your heater core and blow through reverse flow, (ie blow through the pipe not coming from the water pump) If you can blow through the system, jam a hosepipe in the heater hose and flush for about 5mins. Another possibility is your temperature control thermostat (the thing on the other end of your temp control knob has jammed in the cold position. I'm a bit lost on the 9000 as I've had no experience of one, but I'm assuming the heater system is the same vacuum unit that is on the 900? If it is, when you turn the heater control does it hiss and gurgle etc? if not and it should, you have a hole in the vacuum system. Check small bore rubber pipe is still attached to the vacuum reservoir (the big white thing with a pipe coming from the inlet manifold) I had a simular thing happen when I broke the nipple off accidently where the rubber pipe fits.
