(Home) 1995 hiace heater matrix removal

Hi,

I've just bought a 1995 Hiace (my first!), nd decided to find out why the heater doesn't work. On looking underneath, I found that the pipes from the engine have been looped back, which I guess means either a blocked or leaking matrix. What is the sequence for removing and refitting these - is it a complete dash out job, or is there an easier way? From experience on other vehicles, there is never an easy way :-(

Also, could somebody advise me on the correct connection of pipes - I have a top and bottom hose from the engine, and a left and right on the matrix, with the valve somewhere in line.

Thanks for the site - only found it last night, and it's a great resource.
