What electric pump are you using. Not new is it? Other than that your manual pump sounds like it's knackered..

The electric pump is only used to prime and start the car if it's been sitting a while normally it starts on the mechanical pump maybe I should look at the mechanical pump first always thought they are pretty reliable thanks
