Something leaking into the passenger side cabin floor......

P1ckledEgg · Feb 1, 2014

Which after throwing a white towel down onto the carpet it came up red!! the only red liquid I put in my Landy is the engine coolant!

I was on the search for some technical information, pipe routes etc that would show me what is in the area that I could trouble shoot but I cam up blank, I think they call them RAVE cd's? (repairmylandrover)

Does anyone have any idea what this could be or access to the ISO / PDF's I am searching for?

Vehicle is a 2004 2.5V6 Freelander with 49K on the clock.

Any help is gratefully appreciated

Not 100% but for the work involved (taking dash out etc...) I'd replace it.

I should add that the heaters work 100% of the time, does this change your thoughts about the matrix?

Just had mine replaced as it also leaked coolant. It's a dash out job. The pros did it in a relatively short space of time. About 4 hours.

How much did it set you back? for the part and the labour?

£420 in total as I have a few extra wires in the way they had to negotiate.

Thats not too bad, if it includes the cost of the new matrix too, Did you find the passenger footwell damp and constantly topping off the coolant?

Was that for new parts or scrappers stuff?

No point in using 2nd hand heater matrix, it's a long old job to replace, definitely not a job that needs repeating to often. The new matrix isn't that expense really.
Last one I fitted came from good old ebay for around £90 iirc.

Deffo go new...".........

Got a refurb in mine to be cheap. Wish I hadn't. Just get a new one. Labour is normally the biggest cost if your paying to have it done
