How much is a heater worth

[Neil]

I hate these sort of questions but I genuinely have no idea where to price this.
I am going to sell my 2a flat heater, fitted with a new heat exchanger, 2 speed resistor, door catches, springs, along with the heater hoses, heater pipe, take off tap, return connection, demister hoses, demister nozzles and mounting brackets.
All to fit a lightweight.
Any thoughts?

2a flat heater

Quite a lot, by all accounts.

Gordon Bennett where do people get the brass neck to ask those sorts of prices?

I do sort of want one of these as they are better than the round one I currently have, not to mention less in the way.
Just paid my mortgage off though and aren't looking for another one lol.

Depends how cold the weather is

Depends how cold the weather is

Exactly what I was going to say.
I once took a car down to S Wales from Aberdeen and the heater matrix sprung a leak at Forfar, by passed it and had to go the rest of the way with no heater and it was COLD,
I just had to get on with the driving, girlfriend of the time was curled up on the passenger seat whinging about being cold.

I used to be an all year round motorcyclist so can never understand the fuss about no heater in cars.
Dress for the weather and you'll never be cold in a car.

never be cold in a car

My S3 has no heater and even in the snow it wasn't bad; as John said, dress for the weather: tat meant five layers on top, three below, trapper hat, fingerless gloves.

I sold one not long back for £30, not refurbished but in full working order. Aye, I could have got more, but I got a nice warm feeling knowing it was going to a good home.

That's the only warm feeling you'll get from the heater in a Series

My Defender is not a lot better with the ill fitting doors .certainly keeps you awake in the winter .

Presumably the relationship ended very soon after?

Sounds like a lucky escape

The round Clayton ones used to be called shin burners for good reason....

Yes, not long.

I had a tow bar on a Volvo estate like that. In 5 years I never learned to avoid it in the dark

Trust Volvo to offer a heated tow bar...
