I know. My mate used to have an old cortina and the matrix just popped out from the engine bay. Not my taste in motor but I like the idea for the matrix access.

Sadly not.

When they built the Mk2 Ibiza's they start with the heater matrix dangling it in the air & then start bolting the whole car around it.

How did you take the dash out. last year i took my heater matrix out but it was more like key hole surgery then fitting a water mellon through a hosepipe.
