Blower unit removed with relative ease, found the 10mm nut...!
The heater control valve cable fouled things a bit but got there in the end.
When removed there was a pile of what looks like an old sponge filter for the heater matrix, either it fell apart when I removed it or it has been like that for a while, very brittle. I assume replacements aren't available....
The foam gaskets between the blower unit and bulkhead are also a bit shot but I guess that should be easy enough to replace.
I now have good access to the heater control valve (clearly leaking at the control arm) and also handily the crank sensor which I was going to be replacing soon anyway.
Now to source a new control valve...
Cheers Dave
