I've got aircon so guessing I've got a BEHR matrix.

I had my head in passenger footwell tonight, big plastic unit on underside with BEHR on it, tho is this the AC unit ?

I looked eveywhere but couldn't see anything else obvious

Not really, there's a few more little things to unclip / unbolt as you take the dash off but nothing significantly different.

Setup is completely different, comes into the cabin at a different place for a start.

Yes, as Rich correctly says BEHR matrixes were fitted to all cars which had AC from the factory. Yes

That looks even less enjoyable than changing the fuel filler elbow.

It's a nightmare and I hate doing them...Yes

So glad I don't work in a garage anymore and have to do them. Smile
