Re: Heater valve stuck open?

Mine had a similar problem ages ago. The flap inside the heater box was stuck half open so i opened it fully and disconnected the cable. It now gets hotter than ever but takes ages to get cold as the matrix has to cool down but is cold after about 5 mins. The tap in the engine bay may well be stuck ...

Re: Remove wiper motor

When i repaired my motor, i left the spindle alone and just pulled the actuator rod out of the tube to the spindle. I think i undid the nut that holds the tube to the motor and pulled the motor complete with rod ( covered in grease) out.

Re: Coolant change

The drain hole is shown as on the right side. You will need to remove the under tray. Otherwise try the lower hose on left side and flush with hose pipe from the otter switch. I never bleed mine or had an issue when swapping the rad. Hopefully you wont either. On both my excels, there was a cut out...
