Thanks for your help, paid 37 for one on ebay waiting for it to come in. Also ordered the collant tank and pump, all should be here soon. I found out the pump went out which caused the tank to expand and burst (don't know how much truth is in that but they are both a problem)
So i've got a fun (or not so) weekend project ahead of me. If any of you have some pointers or do/don'ts for me let me know!
Thanks for all of your help with this mess
