it really isnt as hard as it sounds, take the dash out and pull the entire heaterbox off the bulkhead.  If you can change a radiator you can change a heater matrix, it just takes longer!

Bought, just need to fit it at some point this week. I hope the GSF ones are good quality.

I have a strange smokey/vapour coming out the vents - I take it that's a side effect of a dead heater matrix?
