Well, It's not great... also there are a couple of hoses under the dash that aren't connected to anything... The wiring looks a bit iffy under there as well... looks like you can get to most things without taking the dash out though... and seeing as it's all fitted nicely, perhaps I won't take it out.

Just did all the oils... annoyingly they all seemed alright ... I did 'em again anyway. Bloody Halfords gave me the wrong oils filter though... didn't find out till I drained the oil lol

Take some pics we may be able to help. Taking the dash out looks a lot of work.
The heater only has 2 water pipes coming though the bulkhead.
"Bloody Halfords gave me the wrong filter" that sounds about right.

The more I think about it, it does look like a hard job... and the dash is all fitted well, so I could easily make it worse... I think I can get to the heater hoses underneath, which might be a better idea.
