General heater matrix removal

Well here we go, my suspicions were correct - I had the smell of coolant inside the car for a while, recently getting worse and no matter what setting the heater was at, condensation was going up the inside of the windscreen, and the header tank was losing water.

As soon as I got access to the matrix, I touched under where the pipes go and the bottom one was dribbling

As soon as I touched the clip the plastic tube just fell apart, its amazing it was able to hold the water under pressure at all really

Had a mare getting a replacement, a new one was £86 - out of the question - and nowhere within sensible travelling distance had one, and I ended up getting one from ebay, did the deal directly and they have promised delivery latest saturday am

Heres the damage
