    I have a small, cheap water feature in the back garden (from HomeStore & More) and the pump seems to have gone, does anyone know where I could get a cheap replacement?

    It can be tricky to get spares for those small waterfeatures. Is it definitely gone? Did you try taking out the impeller and rinsing out the cavity where it sits? The smallest piece of grit can block them. They can blow fuses too but that's more serious as it can mean loose wiring or a leaky housing!

    I gave it a good wash but doesn't appear to be any life in it, I can't hear any noise when I turn it on. I seen a few sites in UK selling ones that look similar, but I've no idea if they are the right size :(

    That's a pity. The physical dimensions and the litres per minute are the key points. The l/m should be on the pump itself. If not the wattage gives a *very, rough idea of flow.

    Cheers, I'll have a look around, the ones I seen are pricey enough but cheaper than a new feature!
