I was able to source a used pump and crankcase cover from Australia, and so removed the damaged ones. I checked the runout on the end of the crankshaft in case it had received a blow. It was 0.1mm off center. A quick tap with a soft head hammer soon had it at 0.01mm. Much better I feel.
The replacement cover and pump are now on the engine and it is full of oil again. The radiator went back on and I filled it with water for testing.
I hooked up the fuel pump and had charged up the battery, so put the key in it and turned it over.... And over... And over...
I will now have to work out if the immobilizer is not allowing it to work or if the fuel pump is not working.... Arch! So close....
