Hi there, looking to buy a new heater matrix as my last one decided to leak like crazy! Now looking around I can get a cheap one on eBay for around 30 pounds delivered such as this one....

Or I can get one from minispares for about 55 pounds delivered. So my question to you lot is are the ones on eBay gonna be crap? Hope you guys can help. Cheers

Probably the same as the Minispares one as they are all from Chinese origin.

Do you like send them a message acting like Liam Neeson:

I don't know who you are.
I don't know what you want.
But I will find you.
and I will spam you back.

In life you tend to get what you pay for and buying bits for Minis is really not an exception to this.

They've been trading since '07 & have 100% feedback - it'll cost you £6 to see one.

A cheap one I bought a while back for an 89 had the outlet pipes 5mm too close to each other, so didn't fit through the holes in the casing. What I ended up doing was filing the holes out untill it did fit, welded 2 large penny washer over the now elongated holes and drilling those to the correct size. So in all 2 days work for something that should have just dropped in. I didn't have to weld washers over the holes etc, but did because I don't want air to leak out and bypass the matrix.
other than that the matrix been fine.
