Yes thanks changed the capacitor, 5 minute job. However, the other day it started making a funny noise (sort of laboured noise) when the boiler fired up and now the fan has stopped working again (today). There seems to be a bit of resistance when I try turning the fan, so it's back to square one.
Hi, stripped the pump down and checked the fan was soinning freely. Put it all back together and fired up first time and was running like a dream.
BUT then started to smell an awful smell coming from it so had to switch it off, no smoke but a really really strong smell of oil so guess I need to check it's all been put back together correctly

Hi, no didn't take the pump apart but stupidly turned it over and a couple of bits fell out (which aren't shown on the pump manufacturers diagram of the pump). The coupling was fine it was the drive shaft on the fan which was very stiff, managed to free that up. Obviously didn't put the piece back into the pump correctly where the fuel line goes in.

Do you have a two pipe oil supply. Cause i hope that was not your bypass screw that fell out
Can't think what two bits could fall out?
There is the plastic coupling, or the screws that fix the pump in the motor. You only need remove the small pressure line and loosen the fixing screws, remove the solenoid to get the pump out. Don't really need to take off the flexi's.
What were the 'couple of bits' that fell out?
If the 'drive shaft' on the fan (should be in the motor body, with a cut-out for the coupling) was very stiff, was it making any noise when running? Did the pump shaft look damp with fuel? The reason I say this is that it is quiet common for the pump seal to leak kero into the motor bearing and wash out the lubricant out on the bearing.
Anyhow is it running now?

Sounds like a new oil pump is order of the day, fitted by somebody with the equipment to set it up correctly of course!!

Well I was getting round to saying that, seems as if it's heading that way
