sounds like the impeller is stuck  a bit of light oil  should do the trick

[biggs]

cheers but not up on technical stuff where is the impellar? is it in the middle of the pump?

[DaveG]

Ive never taken one apart mate but it s probably under the top cover??

I would carefully unscrew the top and have a look inside to see if anything is jammed or seized>

Cheers Dave

Hit it with a big hammer

It might just free it up, if not at least it's very satisfying smashing an irritating bit of kit to smithereens
