Dash removal? Heater matrix fix

[Cullen94]

My heaters don't work and I've been putting off fixing it as I need to remove the heater matrix which is a dash out job, anyone have any good links or can tell where all the fixings are for the dash?
Also whilst I'm here I noticed this brand new replacement? Worth buying?

Are you sure you need to pull the dash out ? The bottom bar that runs under the glove compartment is removable and the matrix should pull out.

Do you still have the aircon rad under the dash too ?

Couldn't find the manual, so looked on youtube ! I've not got anything under my dash and its been a long time since it was all there !

All the air con stuff is there, I just assumed it was dash out after a few people said haha

I have to admit I'm not all that sure, I'll have a look at mine tomorrow (I have much less under the dash !)

^^^ Thats the aircon, but I think it is the same for the heater matrix next to it.

I did mine earlier this year, I too watched that freaken guy do his freaken dash, it goes exactly as he freaken says so no need to freaken pull the whole thing out.
Just freaken saying !

Anyways I actually have in my possession one of those new heater cores from ebay.
I bought one thinking mine was knackered, which it isn't, so after pulling everything out I didn't need it.

It's a solid bit of work and we'll worth the money they're charging to be honest.
