As I say I never need it. And if the car does more than 1000 miles a year it'll be a miracle :y

If the car starts up it will be a miracle  ;D

I think it is a pump that is used on many vehicles that have auxiliary (diesel burning) heaters. IIRC SWMBOs diesel Galaxy had one which I replaced in a futile attempt to get cabin heat on journeys of less than 100miles. ...

That's a different thing. As GK says, the extra pump under the header tank is so you can run your heater with the engine off. My Omega never had this pump in the first place.
My R Class had the same set up & I used it about twice in 4 or 5 years so I doubt GK will miss is it if it doesn't work.

My point is that it is a generic pump and easily obtainable
