i ALWAYS like to look for the OEM part if poss but as you say only LHD examples available. I think what happened is that the original matrix went and was replaced with one from a breaker! It was a bit bent as if it had been dropped or similar...

Generally nothing wrong with Nissens, but unlike the OEM ones, their heater matrices are made of aluminium instead of copper. From experience, I estimate a Nissens matrix supplies about 30-40% less heat. That is why I suggested having the OEM one refurbished.

What makes you think it's leaking? Coolant loss? I hope it's not. If it is, hope it's something simple.
