I bought Jo one last week, though I think it was from Lidl? She's not actually bothered putting it in the car yet.

I bought heated seat elements for the 340 for winter runs. I would imagine you could stick these to some seat covers for the van and job done. Still got them if you want to buy me a pint ;)

I remember only one of them working on the run to Anglesey, and it was never my one.

Correct. And have a switch, but only with on/off.


Result is in.... 7/10.

Nice heat but no control over intensity of heat. Slight cold spot right where both pads meet.

Is it worth £13

Yes
