Perhaps if you gave us a clue regarding which vehicle you have it would help.
My own experience is with a 605 and no the job isn't easy as the complete dash has to come out. My pet mechanic gave up on the job and I ended up flogging the car for a song at the car auction (I believe labour estimate at main dealer was 12 hours !)
I believe it's possible on later 405's to change the matrix without removing the dash but it will still be a tricky job. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will come along and clarify.
Hi Chris. I seem to remember people on this group a few years ago with that problem so a search in Google Groups might throw something up. Otherwise, the guy most likely to know is Nigel. He is a pug mechanic and very knowledgeable about them.
Try this link to Google Groups. I searched on 405 +heater and got many hits.
Really am getting old and doddery. Here is the link this time.
