when I get home from work I will have to down size them and load them up in some kind of order.

Id prefer to put pins in my eyes lol No in all honesty if anybody close enough to Stoke wanted a hand I'd always try and help. I wanted to dot it as I have driven all last week with the heater bypassed - seriously cold and they have forecast snow so I wanted to be ready?

Well over the weekend I have replaced the heater matrix - OMG!!!!!!!! it is a nightmare of nightmares lol. Spent all yesterday ripping everything out, took photos of everything as I did it for reference. When I took the old housing out it wouldn't budge - the pipes to the matrix had melted into...

Hi all Well I have spent two days replacing my heater matrix - still got the two lower panels and the stereo to go back in. Just paranoid its still leaking though lol Only bad point the bulb behing my heater direction control is now dead and the airbag light is flashing (I did disconnet battery...

Well at work today I took the pipes off and connected then via some 15mm copper pipe (too be honest I think 15mm is a bit too small a diameter but tightened then on real good). Still getting drips from the matrix but it must be residue as the coolant hasn't moved on my 16 mile journey home, also...

are these pipes easy to locate? as hate the idea of disconnecting the wrong ones lol

I'll get work tomorrow keeping an eye on the coolant and we have enginners that come in to service our vehicles and Im sure they can "bodge" this for me for now as yep I do hate the idea of rad weld etc - scares me more than my leak lol. Thanks for all of the advice on here as always.:clap

well brand new one ordered with 2 yrs warranty - total cost £32. Might have to try some sealant though to get me through the week and do a real good flush and new coolant when its all done?

well just done all of three miles in her and then when I pulled up I shone a torch in the footwell and its like a dripping tap - also warm so its definately the matrix. I take it it makes no diference if your heater is on or off to the amount leaking? Going to order a new matrix now but I gotta...

Looking at the pics Im scared lol. I have seen a replacement on eblag for 32 notes free postage so might be ordered later.

Damn, talk about reality staring you in the face - never thought about feeling if the leaked fluid was hot. Seriously that is a great tip - got to go out later so Ill try it then and report back,

My expansion bottle was virtually empty after doing a short trip today with the heaters on so can't think where else it would have gone. I replaced the water pump last year as well as my leaky thermostat housing so dont think the pump has gone again? It could be a coincidence and it has leaked...

I admit these are like rocking horse poo for the metal housing. It took me 2 months to finally get one off a vehicle being broken for spares off ebay. Id look at vehickes not just the housing and email them to see if its available. My metal one has been a treat since fitted.

Well a few days ago I noticed my left footwell getting wet then very very wet but not that concerned as my last Terrano has a leaky door seal - I'd be so lucky this time!!!! Coolant right down and can see drips from below glove box sot its the matrix - poop. So do I get a new one for £50 and...

All greased up and its ok on full lock now - still got some squeaks when turning though and the front suspension sounds noisy but 90% better than it was. A Big Thanks.

Thanks for the info, I'll get it sorted today as we are going on holiday this weekend in her and its a bit embarrassing lol.

I have a right old squeak when I turn the wheel, seems only when Im backing out of my drive at slow speed but goes away on the open road. Ive oiled everything I can see but I have read there should be two nylon hex caps that cover thee steering stops and these can wear away but to be honest I...

Cheers Rick its always a relief to listen to those that have experience of these things, I will sleep easier tonight thats for sure as this morning my mind was full of bad end scenarios for my gearbox lol:thumb2

has anybody else filled theres by removing the gear stick? And whilst Im at it is the transfer box a diferent oil -sorry if its a dumb question.

Oops shredded - that sounds fun lol. I can never do anything by halves - all or nothing:confused: Ill check the grade of oil I got before I use it - can always exchange it for another as they are great down my local car parts place.
