405 mark II heater matrix connection leak

Hi Well here we are again! This time with a Mark II 405 TD. There's just beginning to be an occasional drip, especially on a cold morning.

I've had the matrix out twice before, BUT on Mark Is, AND I hear Mark IIs are a pig. I've got the glove box out by removing the hinge pins (easy) and I can see the metal feeder tubes and the connection to the matrix. The first thing I want to try is just tightening the connection or replacing the o rings. But what do I do next?

Some say you can drill out the glove box frame and get further with a bit of cutting here and there. I'm not against cutting out part of the lower fascia and gluing it back after.

But I'd love to hear from someone who has actually done this. The alternative - 12 hours to take out the whole fascia etc etc -- is beyond me.

Thanks.

Yes i have . what you have to make sure is that the o-rings stay in place as you put heater pipes back to matrix.i found a little grease helped to hold then in place, and keep checking then do the screw up tight while still checking the o-ring.its a pain of a job, good luck

You dont have to cut and glue any thing.Remove the glovebox,remove the facia centre side trim panel screws and clips,remove the screws securing the heater pipes and the retaining screws from the matrix.then remove the heater pipes,release the 3 retaining clips and withdraw the matrix. good luck chris

When I did mine I think that I remember having to loosen some nuts fixing the lhs of the console, so that I could move things around a few mm.
