I'de like to know this too please 
There's something rattling down there, I suspect it's a screw that fell down the heater vents

Its dead easy with dash in.
Hardest part is getting the heater parts off under the bonnet especially in a 16valve

because the coolant pipe that connect to the heater matrix at the bulkhead are a bitch to get at,not impossible though.
