hi all took the zx our for a spin this morning i was puzzled to find i had no heating suddenly then after i felt down the drivers footwell behind the centre consul its a little wet any ideas what this is? i think its the matrix if it is anyone know where i can get one and how much?

Does sound like the matrix, mate....:cry:

 

And it's a bitch of a job to change I believe. Don't buy a second hand one - just not worth it, as it may go bad leaving you to do that work again.

 

Contact Mike at MJP for a replacement. Otherwise Zedworld will do the whole job for around the £400 mark IIRC.

Dont drive it around with the matrix leaking, you'll lose water and cook the engine. If you need/want to drive it then bypass the matrix first.

 

New Matrix is about £120 and 2-3 hours labour.

........ouch at £400! Take it elsewhere. New Matrix is about £120 and 2-3 hours labour.

 

2-3 hours - I thought the dash etc had to come out! Shows how little I know........:o

 

Although around here you are still looking at £50-60 per hour plus VAT for a decent mechanic, so it could still be well into the £300s all in...:x:

Can be done with the dash in although I took mine out as I changed the clutch booster and removed the air con at the same time. Took me about 20 hours in total but wasnt in a rush!

if its auto you can do them in about 30 mins if your lucky !

if its auto you can do them in about 30 mins if your lucky !

I'll give you a ring if/when mine ever goes then, Paul......:tongue:
