Huw-

I don't think this is the heater core only because the fluid is leaking from
the blower box - specifically from the plastic that blows air onto the feet.
There is no leakage from core. I took the glove box and assorted plastic off
and ran the engine.  Do you still feel that it is the core?

If so how do you remove the core?  My Bently hasn't arrived yet.  It looks
like I need to remove the dash.

Peter - Sorry this is a 86 4kq
