    Just how hard is it to replace the heater matrix in a K11?

    Hello everyone, a friend mine has a 1995 K11, and the heating has gone all bandy. The fan controller only works on one setting, and no warm air comes into the cabin, at all. When the blower's turned on, all he gets is a steamed-up front screen! Just how hard is it to replace the heater matrix...
