Thanks for the suggestions all. Finally got around to looking at this today: tried the bleed procedure a couple of times, both with the engine cold and up at operating temperature, still no sign of the pump activating.

Mine failed gradually over the course of a couple of months so they don't always go the same way,
If you have an OBD reader you can do a fault code scan on the free version of the carly app to confirm.
Cheers for the Carly tip, a quick scan showed:
Code: Select all
Motor Control:
Engine / Motor
electric coolant pump, the communication
Code: 002E84
electric coolant pump, the communication
Code: 002E85
Crankshaft - inlet camshaft, correlation
Code: 002A98
Seems like we have a winner. On a side note I'm guessing the other fault code is VANOS related, I've cleaned the solenoids a couple of times but I have had hesitation/power loss, probably time to replace them.
For the water pump, any recommendations on the best place to get one? ECP has one for a reasonable price.
