Rang Coventry's earlier today asking the very same, how much and where
do I get an electric oil pump, none :( 

My oil pump runs off the crank, its just behind the crank pulley and
uses a pair of 'nibs' to drive an eccentric gear, not easy to get to
as its also behind timing gear. Working out way to back feed into the
oil filter input to force air out of the pump...
