Is it worth it????

Hi chaps. I have a 2003 2.2 Olympus that I love to bits. 150,000 on the clock and a years MOT BUT....the heater matrix has blown. Its going to cost about £450 to replace largely due to labour costs as its a massive job. Shall I or shant I?? Is it worth it??

I got quoted £350 for labour and £100 for the part. inc VAT

Buy a heater from Demisterman, spend a bit of the cash saved from the garage fees on some tools and read the thread on changing a heater matrix. Brief the misses on brew making, pie heating etc and see about getting a spanner party going to change the heater.

What Frank said...
Heater matrix is something of a pain in the behind of a job, but is a job I'd quite happily do on the driveway one weekend.

The service and part quality from demisterman are top notch, and if you change the coolant at the same time, it's two jobs in one and you'll have a lovely toasty heater again.
