WOW... now that looks like a job for one of my long weekends... & you know what, I'm looking forward to the task... lol

Thank You for the Links Des...

Some very very good info and advise there... even where to get a matrix and how much it's likely to cost...

I know a few people who have sold or scrapped their cars because of a leaking heater matrix... that certianly isn't going to be the case for my S90 Exec... had her 4 yrs & it's not just a car, it's part of me now... lol

Thanks again Des... you're a

...!

thanks very much Des, just spent the last half hour reading the 'Sleeper' post... looks a mammoth task swapping the Matrix... never the less, it's got to be done, My rear passenger side carpet is only slightly damp so I may have caught it before it got too bad...

I can't source anyone who can supply the Matrix locally so I'll give the supplier in that link you so helpfully posted a ring and get one ordered... In the mean time I've by-passed the heater matrix & heater control valve, which I also noticed was weeping, until I get the new parts...

I've done a few matrix replacements on Cars, Landrover Discoveries and Transit vans, and I think the S90 shouldn't be too bad to do as there is plenty of room to get in, I recon I could have it done in a day if my dad doesn't keep pestering me to give him a hand in the service bay (but I doubt that very much), I might even do the job at my friends body shop because I know he'll leave me to it, and he's got room in his re-fit unit... I suppose I'm lucky I've got places to do this kind of work, I wouldn't fancy doing it outdoors like you did...
