Just done the heater matrix!
« on: 22 March 2010, 22:49 »
Bearing in mind I'm a TOTAL novice just finished changing the matrix and radiator, put in a new newton commercial carpet and underlay now totally knackered and cut to ribbons...feels like a mk2 rite of passage!

Thank god for the advice on here... :smiley:

Just the lower parts, took my time over it though!

No heat yet as I have not had a chance to get the air out of the system...lets hope I don't have to redo it... :cry:
