Like it says, has anyone got a kit car heater for sale, I have very limited space and like the ones on ebay (rally car/kit car heater), but would like something less cost.

Heater Demister for Rally or Kit Car or Boat or Yacht | eBay
I've been to scrap yard and cant find a polo with a small heater like my search on here came up with as a option. Any other ideas would be helpfull.

Cheers

The radiator for that is designed for a Pc. I have one in the garage. Its just a tiny radiator. The fan is another general purpose 12v fan. With a shroud on the out side job done.

You really could make one for a few quid.

Check CBS, they sell individual parts so you can make your own They have a drawing, on the web site, of the casing, with instructions on how to make one.

Cheers, I have the s2000 heater so can use the fan and rad then make my own box/housing, but still gonna be too big. I will sort it, might have to get creative.

Just to simplify things a bit, why not 150W 12V CERAMIC CAR HEATER COOLER DEFROSTER 2IN1 HOT &' COOL FAN VAN 09 | eBay?

I use one from T7 Design which cost about £80.
I used to have an Austin A35 van which had a rather neat cylindrical heater unit that sat inside the passenger compartment in front of the gear lever - It worked much better than the equivalent car one. You might be able to find one on ebay, but I bet it would end up more expensive than the alternatives.

I've looked back at posts on here saying that they don't work to well, but would be good if they did.

Cheers.
