Yup. Sounds like a leaking heater matrix. Time for a new one I am afraid.

If you unbolt the heater box you can drop it down a bit and twist it a bit and the matrix will come out if you hold the clutch pedal down. 

ah thankyou , i had a little look in the haynes manual (which i should have done fisrt) and realised it a lot easier than i expected..then looked up prices and theyre a lot cheaper also !! bonus..

thanks for your reply i appreciate the help..cheers Springy👍
