yeah i have ones recommended in that thread but it doesn't fit in my tank :(
ordered the 2 100 wat pumps today. hopefully they will get here by the weekend. and i can give them ago.

if they are no good will be stuffed for awhile. put my car in for new cvs and possible steering rack and find out i need a new drive shaft and engine mounts too :( stoopid cars cost me too many monies :crying-blue:

Just noticed the NOR in your user details, in that case you couldnt make the water worse even if you pissed in it :laughing-rolling:
