I've been checking the tightness of the hose clips and aren't sure how to get at the clips on the heater end of the hoses from the engine to the heater. They go around the rear of the engine (1997 serp) and then underneath. I can't get under the car easily to see so can someone tell me how to get at the clips? - do I jack the car up and get at them underneath or is it much more complicated?

On my 97 Griff the flexible heater hoses to the heater run from the two metal pipes by the bonnet lock, around the back of the engine, through the side of the bulkhead and into the cabin where they join two more metal pipes to the heater. There are then two short hoses into the heater itself. The pipes do not run under the car.

The last two pics. are courtesy of fellow P'Header who helped me recently.

Thanks for that - I'd had another look from a different angle and sussed that the hoses went into the cabin but the photos make it all very clear so couldn't have asked for more!! I'll have a grovel in the footwell ...
