Need a new electric water pump for my Westy sink

Hi All
Tested out my pump this weekend to find water pours out of it!
Anyone know where I can get another one? All I seem to be able to find are submersible ones.
I think the hose that connects to the pump is about .5"|
Here are some photos of it
I was also wondering if anyone knows what the silver (nut type) attachment to the left of the pump
Many thanks

that looks just like the one in my westy, which is submerged...
Test it first but I'm sure that's a submersible pump thats had the pipe atached to the intake.

The chrome fitting looks very much like a quick release coupling,the outer ring should pull away from the pump and allow the pump to be removed
Any small water pump will work as long as its self priming

Hi Ade
Can you let me know what a self priming pump is/does?
Well I did a bit of digging and now know why my pump was leaking all over the place, the idiot who fitted the pump (as part of the van sale!) used a submersible one! found it on the link below

Incidently the restricted intake(folded pipe) will not have helped the life ot the pump
