   How long has it taken you to renew the heater matrix?
   Got the chance to buy a Furio on a R Reg in silver £250 (just needs a matrix)
   
   Just before i do it i wanna know how hard it is to change?
   
   I have been a mechanic for 2 years now so it wont be a problem changing, just dont want to get involved if its one of those sort of jobs lol

   +1 to this, was a ballache to get to these due to the steering rack and inlet manifold being in the way
