Quick question on this. I'm breaking a 98 Celebration and wondered if the matrix will be the same as my 96 ? I know valve is different as mine is non A/C and Celebration is A/C
Cheers

Worth saving the valve though in case yours fails, you can bypass the original and fit the A/C heater valve under the bonnet with a vacuum feed to it to close it in hot weather.

While I had the dashboard and facia removed I amended the windscreen wiper drive and moved the motor to the other side of the engine compartment so that the wiper sweep was reversed to be high on the driver’s side instead of leaving that large unswept area on the right hand side of the windscreen. Why BL had never addressed that I will never know.

AC vs non A/C
You can find several parts manuals on the internet, this is a good one: https://www.gcp.se/en/catalogues/mod...60-s90-v90-en/
According this manual the matrix for a non-A/C system is different from an A/C system (MCC and ECC systems share the same matrix model) There is also a difference between RHD and LHD cars, so there are four different models in total. There is no use in keeping a 96 non-A/C matrix in stock for an AC 98. |

There have been many theories as to why/how it happened originally and why it was perpetuated but in short, they fitted LHD wiper set-ups to RHD cars and vice versa. From the early/mid 80s, they got it right, perhaps Hondas influence seeing as the Japanese also drive on the correct side of the road like us. Quote:
