What sort of job is it? i keep getting a wafting smell of coolant inside, so i'm suspecting 5 months parked up has called time on my matrix.

usual dash out job? or can i pop off the lower piece and pull it out?

 

i did mine; but i cant exactly remember what i took out; i'm pretty sure i only took the lower section of the dash out and removed the matrix from the drivers side

i did mine about 4 years ago so cant remember exactly how i did it, but deffo not whole dash out

 

Yes you just need to take the lower dash out mate, it's also a good time to refurbe all the seals on the heater box bafels which makes a world of difference in the summer by stoping warm air getting into the cab from the matrix.

 

as above its not to bad to do just the lower section off and bobs ya uncle

 

I did mine, when I built the engine, (snapped a pipe off) dont remember taking much of the dash out, only the lower part, if the lower part is split, I might of just taken one side out....? Was about 6years ago. Don't remember it being that bad a job?! Good luck with it!
