Has anyone got experience of this-would I be right in thinking it’s probably a leaking heat exchanger?
From the Haynes manual it doesn’t look like too big a job to remove the heater exchanger but is described as fiddly!
Any help or tips appreciated, thanks.

It is way easier on a non-a/c than an ac equipped unless you take the shortcut….

Depends which direction the tabs of the clips are pointing in as there isnt much room to get pliars on them.
If they are facing towards the centre of the car try using a cable tie to close them up enough to spin them round so an angle more accessible with pliers or moles
I did mine recently.
Only thing you may been a 2nd pair of hands with is when you come to put the pipes on the new matrix, helps if someone pushes them through the firewall while you locate them and the clips, unless you are Mr Tickle
