Is it definately the pump or are the lines gummed up?

Done all the checks, pulled the hose out from the base of the pump and hit the stalk: nothing! Checked 12v at the plug,put 12v in from a separate batery:no go, so I pulled it out and tried to expose the innards:no can do!

BY the way for Aussies Imparts have it brand new for $50+GST whereas BMW Sydney want $115.00 for it (bastards!!)

Yeah I didn't mean to tell you how to suck eggs it's just that my lines were clagged up. $115??? I was wondering why we called them 'stealers'... I've just got a big order from BMA. The postage was over US$100 and I am still hundreds of dollars in front of what I could have done in Oz. That said, I can't fault the customer service from Rolfe Classic BMW in Canberra.
