Probably not the right thing to do, but on gear type pumps I have even used a bit of light grease:eek:

Yes as long as it is not solid with it. Just to give it a bit of suction for the initial pull. I have seen a few oil pumps fitted dry that would not draw from the sump. I was told always to prime them no matter what so i have never had one fail. But i would never fit a pump of unknown quantity without having a look at it first. It is silly not to. Personally i think the mechanic has just dropped it in dry, but you can't prove that. Depending how it was stored, todays oil being like **** it would run out and leave the pump dry.
 
In my experience scrap yards/breakers always mark the parts before sending them out. That's so that they can be sure its their parts if returned. Emmotts are no different. Return their part & I'm sure they will exchange/refund.thats simple enough.
All your other moans are your issues because your plan didn't work. **** happens, get over it.
I used Emmotts recently, didn't go perfectly to plan but can't fault their efforts to resolve.

PS - it was partly my fault but I'm big enough to admit it.
