Hi Ive realised that my matrix is leaking as it is dripping from the passengers side.

I am not that mechanically minded as I believe the dash needs to come out (and I have top get a new one which are 400 quid from Mitsubishi).

Is there a quick fix? or disconnection as it summer ?

if not does anyone know how to change it?

You can bypass the matrix easily, it's a dash out job to replace. Not difficult just a bit time consuming.

There are two pipes going through the bulkhead to the matrix - take them off the matrix and connect them together.
