heater matrix removal?

[fred rowland]

Hi peeps,

Does any one have a simple method to replacing a heater matrix or is it a complete c**t?
Either way does any one know the best way to go about it?
Car is phase 1, not that i imagine it makes the blindest bit of difference.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.:)

Its not the worse job in the world mate, i've done one in few hours if you take your time.

Can be done pulling the dash forward enough to gain access to the heater box to slide old matrix out and new matrix in ;)

Clips at each side of dash will break when you release them but couple of quid each from Mike or CGB worth replacing when new matrix in to keep dash more stable ;)

I have never had mine break and removed dashes about 10 times so far, flat headed screw driver just to release it
