So 3 months after having the dash out to replace the heater matrix the right side blend motor has decided to stop working might be a sticking flap but guess not with my uck so it will be dash out again

Believe the diag. Blend flaps very seldom if ever seize.

What's the score with brake pipes then coz I got an advisory. Are they really hard to do? Expensive?

Not trying to hijack a thread, but since you mentioned them....

No not that bad if you go at them logically and don't rush

+1 nic I've done loads using copper pipe and a flaring tool and a cheap pipe bender , you can bend them so far but too far and they will kink .
You get lots of copper pipe so you can CAn practise

Always make sure flaring tool it tight and leave about 2 mm exposed before you squeeze too much or to little makes the convex or concave wrong you could get the whole kit did less than £50 and do more afterwards

. 3/ 16 needed

No need to take out dash, see RR.net for short cuts.
Make sure it isn't just a loose connector back of HEVAC unit first, easily done if you take out radio, easier than heating unit
