I've got something blowing about in my heater, and I'm sure its a few leaves.

Does anyone know how to get into the heater system to clear them out?

(I've got the non-air con/recirculation heater)

Under the bonnet but behind the plastic scuttle sits the air cleaner housing, it is possible to remove this, then you can stick a vacuum cleaner onto the blower intake and clear out the rubbish. Not an easy task though.

Could be a bit of plastic too, were forever getting it sucked into the forklift engine at work.

Well I had a good try today, involving all sorts of tubes and hoover extensions but the leaves are still there. And they are leaves because as soon as I had the air filter out it was full of them.

Is there any way to get access to the heater itself, is it in the large black box behind the centre dashboard?
