Righto, I am chasing a compact heater unit. I have a 1200 ute and want more room on the dash. I would like to get rid of the Heater controls. I was going to use a 120Y unit but the tunnel is too high.

Has anyone seen anything that might work during their travels? Sherpa, Barina etc. . .

What do the old volksy's run?

do you want a heater, or demister for rego purposes?

if you're just chasing a demister, then head down to your local camping and/or 4WD performance shop and pick up a 12V camping hairdryer.

hard wire it to a switch, plumb it into your existing demister ducts (with a duct for the dryer to take air from the engine bay behind the headers), tuck it up under your dash and never look at an ugly heater box again.

we'll be running this setup on our 120Y ####box.

i think you can get some electric heaters.... they are really small, probably put them anywhere.

otherwise just get out the old blow dryers, and sticck them under the dash

The ute is still rego'd so that is not an issue. My problem is that I start work at 4:00 in the morning and it can be a little/lot chilly.

There has to be something out there!

Looks like another wrecker crawl. . .

Although I am sure they would work, I'm after something that looks a little more factory. What have other CA people being using? Stock unit? Nothing?

believe it or not,my 2 door sedan did not come with a heater.l have kept one from a car that I wrecked so it will have good one when it is finally on the road.

the old volkswagens run on 6 volt though.

Buy a jumper.

I use the standard 1200 heater, but I too would like to have something more compact, and modern.
