Just had a blowout of water inside the car from under the dash to both sides of gearbox tunnel I,e driver and passenger footwells, should I suspect heater matrix or are there any other hoses up there :roll:

I think you will be correct pointing the finger at the matrix, as the 2 hoses going into the bulkhead connect to the matrix almost immediately. There are no other hoses back there. Temporary get you home fix until you can fix it properly is to cut those 2 hoses as close to the bulkhead as possible and join them to short circuit the matrix. Take off the panel housing the bonnet catch to reveal the matrix.
How do I know? Have just changed all my hoses for silicon ones.
