whats the best and easyest way to flush my heater matrix out i think its starting to get blocked

[Marks DTM Calib]

Disconnect the two fast-on connectors from the bulk head and attach the hose pipe....flush it in both directions

[nick v6]

is that the left hand side of the engine as you stand in front of the car

Yep rear left on the bulk head....(this photo has one pipe already removed)



Here is how to disconnect them

is there a air bleed valve anywhere to get air out the water system after ive flushed the matrix out

Nope, just start the engine with the header tank cap removed, heaters on max heat and let the coolant system heat up to temp. Once the stat is open, the air should now be all gone
