Aftermarket heater

Post by Blacky »

Seeing as the core in my Preslite heater that I have had for years waiting to install is shagged :cry: - can anyone recommend a good aftermarket heater setup that I can stick in the sedan so we dont freeze to death in Taswegia next June ???
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I'm using a 'Speedy Air Spares' unit that's very effective.
They have a few water heated units, with or without demister outlets and some electric units as well.
Google them for a look.

Yes that's the one. You could fit a tap to stop the hot water entering in summer.
It may do until you get one you want.
