better sort out their catalogue then… fed up with items with blatantly wrong specifics…. loving the 3kw heaters i found the other day that were solar… with a 3 pin plug. See it all the time. Whether it be purposeful like key word spamming or accident, i dont know… but it is bad as if you use the catalogue and it is wrong… then the buyer has full come back on you!
