Not got rid of the heater system myself,but if you do,and you intend to remove the matrix,then i would link out the pipes as these are the thermostat bypass

[panic]

Thanks Aj, i'd have to bypass the heater...i knew this but if i saw a pic on how actually do it, better.

The bypass could easily be achieved given thew routing cureently on the o/s. Just add a different fixed length metal pipe. Then simply unbolt the heater matrix and remove. All sounds so easy doesn't it.

Remember the matrix and bypass does add a minimal amount to the cooling systems ability to maintain temps, but it's fairly marginal I imagine.
