Reply With QuoteYes, thanks a heap! To bypass the heater core do I remove the intake and outake tubes and what an L tube there instead?

Try turning the thermostat to heat and if mist comes out the vents you can be fairly sure its the core. Just bypass it with a corner joiner from bunnings but dont plug the tubes. And then fix it when you get the chance

sounds like heater core....
There is a vent in the firewall (engine bay), centre low down, to drain it.
If you take your passenger side blower out you can get a mirror in there to see in
If not try your cabin filter under the water deflectors

You can use the existing pipes to bypass.
