    new heaters - has anyone fitted one of these

    I bought one of these five years ago for my 2a Truck Cab and it's mediocre at best. It was easy to install and that was its redeeming feature. With hindsight the money I paid would have been better spent on refurbishing my original Smiths heater at Claytons.
