Yeah they honk. The second one I did I cleaned with white spirit and then car shampoo before fitting. Smelled lovely :-)

I have also in the past put the fan on full pelt and sprayed anti bacterial Fabreeze into the heater air intake.

its not actually that hard imho.

Remove steering wheel and stalks, remove Radio and heater control panel. remove Dash.. then you have complete
access to the heater box. well worth getting rid of the Valves if you have those fitted, at the same time.
