Welcome to FTO-Ireland.

Guide to changing heater matrix note that a new matrix is recommended over a used one due to their fragility.
Camskill is a great source of original Mitsi parts as well as their own products, I'm pretty sure they do a matrix for the FTO,


The FTO Knowledgebase contains loads of useful info for maintaining or improving your FTO.
