Hi John

It was never my intention to belittle your system. I agree wholeheartedly that it is a
better solution than the stock system, and in my last post describd it as a solution that
gives people an alternative to the FanZilla.

I am very used to describing devices as a "box". Every day I talk about "Nokia boxes" to
describe tens of thousands of pounds/dollars worth of Firewall Appliance that I support
and sell. It's not derogatory, it's just a word. I apologise if you took it to mean
otherwise.

My point is (and I'm getting just as tired of repeating it as I'm sure many of you are of
reading it), I want to build this for myself. It's no skin off my nose if anyone out
there has the ability to duplicate it for themselves - I am happy to supply the design
freely. I am not trying to compete with any other product or service, BUT in some ways I
think I can improve on the design - that is a matter of opinion, and for others to
decide.

With regards the water pump, we can source them brand new for £42 ($61) - factor in the
cost of shipping from the US and the price here is far more attractive. All it took was a
photo of the right pump....

Remember I have also done work on parts sourcing, and have "found" auto transmission
filters, front brake flexi-hoses and washer bottle pumps. I'm not a vendor, and do all of
this out of the love for my car and the enjoyment I get as a member of this community.

John, let's just take a step back, give the DML a rest from this issue and chill out over
a beer or five in Memphis.
