^^ Yup I'd check that first. UK cars have a cable that moves the hot water valve. JDM imports have an electronic controlled value. You need to go in the engine bay and have a look where the pipe go through the firewall. They are in the worst place possible, right behind the engine.

:lol: that (part) explains my reply appearing out of sequence :lol:
(although I did also actually write it earlier than the time stamp of the post, shows - I was mobile at the time though and being interrupted on my phone, so I think it didn't send straight away...) When I replied, the thread was blank and it was a straight reply to how easy it is to flush the matrix :D

Yep.
That's the heater type fitted to all jdm ludes. So that part of a ukdm no good to you, but off any jdm (import) lude will be fine.
