Roughly this is what you need to do.
You need to take out:
Centre console
Glovebox/inner trim
you should be able to see the end of the matrix with the valve attached.
Here's where the nightmare begins; the huge hinge-looking thing atached to the bulkhead will need to come out, and you may have to detach the bolts holding the servo to the bulkhead.
Disconnect the hose connections in the engine bay just by the bulkhead, then you need to remove the valve, if you can get to the bolts. Once this is off, and if you've not already given up, the matrix should slide out.
Get a Haynes manual; most of the details are covered.
Good luck.
