new matrix is in, dash is bolted back up, struggling to get the water pipes in far enough so that metal clip will go back on properly . . . . Dodgy

any tips anyone? . . . . .it just needs to go on about another 3mm ffs Smile

Lube it up it will slide straight in Wink giggidy

Washing up liquid round the seal should do it

Krisb did mine. Already had bits of the dash off. 70 quid and took an hour and a half. Do glad I didn't have to do it myself.

Well I managed to do this, car is mostly back together now, holds coolant and is all good, for anyone else thinking of doing the same job it's not as bad as you might think, I gave myself a couple of days and probs took me about 10 hours, I bagged all screws and labeled them, everything went back as it came out no shortcuts.
Had a funny moment on first drive with the missus, heard a hissing sound and was like oh fcuk :-( then realised I hadn't put boost gauge back :-P

It's literally the worst job I've ever done on a 306, clutch change, engine change, beam swap, all FAR easier...
