When set on cold it’s all rosy; but crank the heat up and steam comes through the dash vents along with a tell tale chemical sweet smell. I’ve had dodgy Heater cores before but this is a first with the whole steam out of the vents thing. It doesn’t sound too difficult to change the matrix.

I’ll probably do it if the car stays. It certainly sounds less complicated than on my Alfa 166 where K Seal was less hassle than taking the whole bloody dash to bits.

I changed the heater fan in my S70. It was a piece of piss. I removed the glovebox and it was right there in front of you. The matrix can't be far away.

I can’t find a lazy spotters thread so I’ll shove this live spot here. Sadly Richard Hammond has ruined the appeal of these for me.

I saw a brand new G wagon yesterday. In that primer grey colour that seems to be the fashion these days. It looked very non descript andinconspicuous cosidering they cost a fucking fortune.
It could have been forty years old too. They haven't changed much.

On a bike ride through the edge of Dartmoor; some lovely views of the great British landscape

Agreed on Hammond, he ruins anything. The concept I might like something because a retarded gay dwarf does means I have to avoid them like the plague.
