I'll hazard a guess that they disconnected the heater because the internal core is leaking. Look at the firewall near the brake booster for the two water pipes that go through the firewall.

okay thank you but the cable has been disconnected that moves the hot air lever on dash in the car , so not sure where to attach the loose cable in the engine , it has a hook on the end

This is the valve on the pipes described above. It's likely been removed too.

Before you buy the valve, operate the dash lever and see what happens with the cable in the engine compartment at "open" (hot) and "closed" (cold).

Then make sure you get the appropriate valve. I've seen some that have the open and closed positions switched around.
