I don't know (I seem to remember 12mm but could be wrong) but I have been thinking I need to flush mine, so if you find out please let me know.

I assume you just disconnect the flexible pipes in the engine bay and force a bit of water through until it comes clear?

It's been a while since I had the one in dreadnought changed but I want to say it was about 8 to 10mm but I'm not sure.

The matrix pipes stick out the front of the bulkhead just behind the engine. Two rubber hoses attach directly to it. You could take a Vernier caliper to them and measure. However, I'm not a fan of throwing stuff out, I have my old matrix in the garage here. The outside diameter is 14mm on my old one which I expect is factory fitted.
