A common fault by my reckoning, is a leaky matrix on this model. It's easy to replace though. You don't need to remove the whole dash. Go under the sterring wheel, remove the panel (3 or 4 screws), you'll see 2 silver pipes behind the radio. Simply undo the screws or bolts holding the pipes to the matrix, pull them off and slide it out. Reverse to get it back in.
Fiddly, but a damn sight quicker and easier than removing the radio assembly and central dash unit.
