Sytec told me that their HP pumps will burn out their vanes in seconds if they are allowed to run starved of fuel (the petrol acts as a coolant): so though your HP pump may run, it would be a good idea to test the pressure it puts out after you have fitted your LP feeder.

I agree its unusual for a LP pump to fail specially as its a genuine facet. Its completly open circuit so its the electronics that have failed. I am in the process of taking it to bits but it is very well made and seems to be filled with some potting compound.
I am using a sytec swirl pot. I have stripped it and its clean as a whistle.
New pump arrives Tuesday. Just in time for the heat wave :-)
