I haven't used it yet. Still sitting on the shelf.
I'm waiting to find out from one of the other hundred people that bought one if they're of any actual use, and I think they're all doing the same too! :lol:

I bought one from that place with $98 and free postage arrived 4 days ago.
Looks good fits and works vell slightly wider than my original one but you should have plenty of space anyway. yesterday when we had 38 degree heat with air con on and 100 km h 82degree thermostat it was lower than 3/4 (105 - 115 degree) it usually sits on half(90 - 95 degree)
