Default Heater matrix

Any tips on replacing a heater matrix? New thermostat hasn't sorted it out.
Anything else I can try to get heaters working before I get the dash out?

Is it blocked? Tried some rad flush? Or try disconnecting the hoses on the back of the block and blasting a hose down there.

unplug the yellow cable above brake pedal, remove steering shrouds get a 5.5mm socket and undo 2 bolts on rear of airbag, pull airbag off disconnect the yellow plug, then get 15mm socket and loosen the centre nut, insert ignition key and turn one click to lower steering lock and wiggle the wheel off complete with airbag ring and yellow cable attached
