Mend Cathay Broken Replace Problem

Wish to fix my halogen heater?

I have a Cathay Halogen Heater, uses 3 halogen tubes at 400W each. Two are now broken and I wish to replace them. Problem is, I've seen some halogen tubes on the web, but all seem to be 215mm long, whereas mine are more like 230mm.
Please don't say get a new heater - they cost ~£20, whereas those tubes I saw on the web go at ~£5 for a pack of 3.
Any ideas?

they are not worth the hassle of repairing, by he time i had all the screws out and the mesh out and the old bulbs out and the new ones wouldnt fit in tightly just kept slipping out, it didnt work anyway when i plugged it in for a test, i spent £20 on two new ones, i just threw the old one in the bin,

quite easy to fix - just unscrew the side panel - remove - unpick the wire front - take out the reflector cover inside - replace the bulbs - all standard size - they just clip inside the springs either side - put the reflector cover back - make sure the wire front is tucked around the edges - replace the side panel - 2 screws on the bottom - 2 on the long edge and one long screw at the top.
