Where do you live, so someone on here may be close enough to assist? :-? :-?
Changing the HBV is fairly straightforward, but is fiddly due to its location at the rear of the engine!! ;)
Refer to this OOF Guide as well:

if the HBV is playing up there is usually a pool of water under the car when the engine is running with the heater on!

Are the pipes going through baulkhead getting hot?
Do you get heat if you disconnect vac pipe from HBV?

hope helps with location and correct connections of hoses and vac pipes, hope you dont have these clips, earlier ones wiyh 2 tabs where easier ;)

take pipes off heater matrix and put a hose pipe on each one in turn to flush it out ! :y

Hi Think I may have same problem
How do you you undo the connectors to the heater matrix? I can see the pipes but can't work out how they come off
Thanks
