Thanks to Matt for quick delivery of the thermostat.
But I was very surprised to find it wrapped in newspaper and in a box obviously not its original. Do these things not come in there original boxes?

It’s probably a Chinese one. Not sure if he sells genuine ones or not...

It is a Motorad, apparently reputable firm.
So I am happy with that.

Panic not, we bought 20 from a Moto-Rad distributor in boxes that were well and truly past it.
We’d also rather use newspaper than plastic packing where possible

Don't be dissing the plastic! Its people that cause the issue not the plastic.
