Changing heater matrix

   Yes I know how to use the search function before anyone asks, right here is the lowdown, I purchased my car from a well known German Car(s) dealer and on the way home the heater matrix let go and coolant went all over the place! I quickly shut off the heater and got it home and it looks like the matrix and valve are shot.

The garage wants nothing to do with the car and are always "busy" when I ring, for gods sake I said I would even pay for the work to be done I just wanted some help ffs, anyway the long and the short of it is that I'm going to have to attack it myself I've had a look and its the matrix where you have to take the dash out! Not a job I'd like to perform if im honest however is there another way ie: steering column removal ?? 

Your help will be gratefully recieved!I really want to get to the meet at Cadwell as I have hardly driven the car in due to its problems.

Cheers Gaz.
