[ROVERNET - UK] Foam strip in P6 heater

[Vern Klukas]

The foam acts as seals for the various flap valves inside the heater 
box. They do give up the ghost, but without them the heater is 
largely uncontrollable (i.e., cold is warm, hot is warm, can't shut 
it off. Replacing the foam is possible, but sourceing thin foam of 
the appropriate density is hard.
