OK guys, got busy with a hacksaw blade and cutting knife, also had to cut away part of the relay surround trim but got the old matrix out and the new one in. I suspect the old one has had a leak on it at some time as there was evidence of mould under the liner in the drivers footwell, and judging by the amount of crap that came out of it in the sink, it was blocked with the evil radweld or Barrs..also the 2 small pipes to/from the header tank were blocked solid, then it dawned on me that thats why it warmed up so quickly and ran around 95C. Now she runs around 91-2 which I think is spot on, the fans can rest and the heater is blisteringly hot. The previous pics by Abiton say it all but I took some anyway, email me if youre thinking of doing this job and need some info.. easy but very fiddly!
Massive thanks to Abiton for the info and pics here, much appreciated
