Changing a heater hose on my Scimitar GT V6 took four and a half hours decades ago when I was young and agile. It involved removing a front wheel ,shining a torch held in teeth( no headtorches then) through a slot in the inner wing to facilitate inserting a screwdriver to undo a hose clip on the water pump then laying atop the air cleaner to reach under the scuttle to undo the clip at the heater end, the reverse repeat the process. I suffered two dents in my chest from the domed nuts on the top of the air cleaner. This was a fairly expensive limited production car so I don't think the manufacturer thought about home mechanics travails.
