Chaps
To add to my woes
Put my hand under the centre console i fitted last year and found a clear odourless liquid in there
It was water at my best guess but there was a very slight sort of slipperiness to it? maybe i imagined it,
Any ideas?

Most likely the heater matrix leaking. Its a common problem, van also be the feed or return pipes. Have you checked your coolant level recently?

Probably is water from a leaking heater matrix. Mine went last year and the water was for want of a better phrase gloppy, think it was caused from the anti freeze crystallising in the matrix.

Seemed ok but now the heater has stopped blowing hot, even though the fan works, its leaking

Not a big job, just a bit fiddly. You do need to make sure you get the correct type of matrix for the year of your car. I got mine off Demisterman on Ebay.
