Does anyone know where I can get a mains plug that will switch on and off according to temperature. Argos did one a while ago but it doesn't seem to be there any more.

to be the modern version of the Smiths one I bought years ago from Argos.

Looks as if it should do the job. I have one made by Morphy Richards which is both a timer and a temperature controller - with a sliding switch to select either or both functions - but I don't think they still make them.
Yeah, it looks identical to the one Argos sold under the Winterwarm brand. Thanks!
Wilko may have these for £15, Ryness or Robert Dyas could be another place to get them.
They're very sensitive, if they switch on and off too much try covering the holes at the bottom of the unit with tape.
Some more info here:
cheers, Pete.
