Sticking hose in hot water did help, but not a great deal. Hose was very old, I ended up leaving the hose connector thingy on. I found that much easier to keep on the matrix pipes, also reversing the flush too, quick to swap them around.

I just disconnect the other end of the hose and a copper pipe reducer to connect it to the hose.  Then it's 3 Bar of flushing

I made some plugs to go in the HBV/engine end of the heater hoses with Hozelock threads on them. A couple of standard connectors  mean you can swap the supply and drain hoses around in seconds, which makes flushing the matrix much more effective. It also removes the need to mess around under the scuttle.

Just to update on this. Got some spare time today and as I am spearfishing tomorrow I will definitely need the hear working.

It was the control arms.  Quite fiddly for my bear paws but I loosened the t20 torn without removing them to help get the right angle and purchase.  Switching to low on the climate helped too.

Thanks everyone for your input.  As always humbled by the support here.
