[modeleng] Cheap Coolant System

A word of warning.
I purchased a cheap coolant system from the stand of a well known  machine 
supplier at the last Alexander Palace Exhibition. Cost  65.00UKP
 
It has lasted about 2 weeks.
 
The problem appears to be that the pump is not up to the job as it is only  a 
basic ornamental pond type of unit.
 
I have contacted the supplier and they require me to return the pump before  
they will consider any further action. I am unhappy about this as I think  the 
cost of postage will be excessive without any guarantee of  reimbursement.
 
I think my best move would be to cobble up some form of home made system  and 
I am considering a modified washing machine pump unit. The original  tank and 
switch is just right.
 
Has any member got any other ideas?
 
Here is a clear case of 'cheap and cheerful' but I am very UNhappy!
