I would have no problem just replacing the motor.
Its a sealed system, with non contact lobes in the pump, so nothing to wear.
To make it viable, can you buy just the motor in the UK though?
I might be wrong, but I think to have to remove the whole pump on the 4200/GS anyway, no room just to remove the motor.
So the saving would be just having to buy the motor.
They have sourced the motor only in the US....that came from Europe....should be able to buy it even cheaper here in theory!
Interestingly it seems the Ferrari guys just replace the motor part of the entire unit

I will still get the whole thing replaced, but I suspect this could be useful.
