You have to drain it and remove the heater and the "intake box/plastic thing". But as Winu told me you can also cut the carpet around the heater/the box. Might be a lot easier.

lol, ref the pic funny its just posted again upside down but when i click on the pic it rights itself,

thks, after reading some more posts etc see what u mean, had to take out the complete heater matrix unit

had to also check the mark i kept getting on the carpet and after inspecting the heater matrix found it needs replacing

going to order another one in the week

luckily my son and his mate come round to help, so we just plodded along, plenty cups of tea and all came out in time

hardest thing was getting the wiring loom apart

will be taking some more pics of the interior so it can be used as a reference point to help anyone else

going to tommorow start running in the wiring looms for the spot lights and god lights, pleased its all plug in

hi

this is now what im left with

oh happy days, this should be fun, lolol

sad i know but enjoy doing things like this

have noticed however on the passenger side carpet that its wet underneath, am thinking it may be the air con ????????, theres no water marks down the bulkhead or around the screen

looked under the bonnet and the two ac pipes look very oily if that makes sense, not sure if its running down the pipes, through the bulkhead and into the passenger side floor

will see if i can pin it down tommorow as i know i need to find it before i put all the new dashboard, matrix and carpet back in
