Not had a look yet but do plan to pull the dash out, two reasons
To flock the dash
Replace the heater matrix/ remove air con rad from the car.

Just thought I would see if there is any hints or tips, I know half the bolts are going to be in knuckle scraping places :( be worth it I'm sure haha.

Cheers
Matt

Ive done a few 8s there not bad to do tbh, a lot of hidden screws in the heater control area, and heater box has to come out to get at matrix, why you changing matrix?

Yes mate dug out some that is a cut off from what I put on the bonnet.

Cheers Simon, I guessed there would be some issues with it. Know what the matrix is like, I had one pop on me ages back. Got another matrix cheap and to be brutally honest did a bodgers job. Got the old matrix out and then cut the pipes to slide the new one in, silicone piped them back on ;) was using the car as a daily drive so needed a working rad in over the winter.

Think its time to sort it properly.plus I want the air con unit out
