Leaking Heater Matrix

I HAVE NOTICED A SMALL LEAK COMING FROM MY HEATER MATRIX HENCE WET CARPET ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO REPLACE WITHOUT REMOVING ALL THE FRONT DASHBOARD

its unlikey you'll be able to without takin the dash out. i had this problem last year on me car and after wasting time with sealants it was a dash out job. wasn't so hard once i'd started and took about 3hours. but then it wasn't a gaylander so time wise it might be quicker for you.

Thanks Slob Will Try To Replace Myself Before Winter, Garage Wanted £300 To Do Job I Can Get A Matrix For £80

I have a suspician that it is indeed a dash board out job. Garage wanting £300 kind of confirms this, loads of labour I fear.
Mine didn't leak, I think, but always smelt of that anti freeze smell. Stupid heater matirx !!
