I haven't got a link mate, only difference with Maplin one is there is an extra connector on it that's not needed just bend it and it snaps off

I think this is the one

http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/low-cost-standard-microswitch-gw71n

You take the presser switch housing off the back of the pump and the micro switch fits inside hence why you can't find the part that looks right.

There is also this one one eBay which has a higher current rating and looks to be the right part

Yep it's the Maplin GW71N you need.
You will also need to use smaller spade connectors.

That's right JK.
The pressure switch housing is the black square bit.
When you unscrew it you will see the pressure switch inside.
Using a small flat screwdriver you can lever it out of the housing to remove it.
The new pressure switch will slot straight in.

What makes you think its the pressure switch. Meaning what is the pump actually doing when switched on?
Do you run the pump through a digi controller if so does it come up with any errors?

JK have you tested the pump with the bare terminals on the battery to see if pump is ok.      water should come out of the reel if tap is open.

Cheers matt that would be great . Smurf I run it with  just  an on and off switch and one of my pipes have an inline tap but it's open fully .only way I can explain is when it's running  it's sounds like it's trying to stop pump hope this helps
