did you bleed the system after you have cancelled the heater matrix?
what pipies did you connect together?
is it still leaking?

you can bleed it by opening the nut on the thermostat housing placed in the middle of the radiator,its got 2 hoses connected to it,i think its a 8ml bolt.

right ive had another look at it and it seems when the engine is running 2 out of the 3 pipes on the thermostat housing are getting warm the one which goes to the bottom of the radiater remains cold could it be the therostat
