Have a look at @doubleboost's review - I think his was the 'separates' type and might hold the answer.
My 'all-in-one' job was no bother to get going, although I haven't set up the remote control end of things - since I isolate all power to the cave when I'm done for the day.
Iirc, @mrsbruce did set her remote function up though.

It might have been one of his SSS on YouTube - I'm sure the man himself will see this and point you in the right direction.

i bought this one:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202664565962
arrived in about a week.
i also bought a set of "long reach" sockets from The Range (£8? - draper brand) and cut a slot down the 10mm to use as a glowplug socket. cheaper than a readymade, plus i got the other sockets free.

ah.
the other part of the question, which i forgot to answer.
i use an ebay 20a 12v psu like this.
(not the one i bought, just the first listing i came across).
the heater only needs about 12A (100w glowplug/12v = 8.5A * 70% efficiency?)
but i also run some LED lamps off it.
for the sake of a couple of quid difference, i just bought a 20A supply.
it *will* run off a PC PSU as long as it will give 12A @ 12V (but ideally 15A)
i use one of these:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264267345522 which is a plug-in adaptor for an atx psu and gives fused banananana socket outputs. (cheaper versions available).
