Default fuel pump rattle

Hi all,

I have a Group A Escos Fuel pump intank ending in 003.

This was bought by a friend of mine a couple years ago to do a zetec turbo but never got round to doing it. We just found it in his garage forgetting he even bought it. Here's the issue:

If you hold it upright and flick your wrist from side to side, it makes a clinky rattle, like something is loose inside and shaking about. Also if you shake the pump it does it too. Thing is I can't remember it doing it when it was first bought since I bought it for him. Is there a valve in there or something or is the pump fucked? It does sound like a valve type noise and not some odd rattle though. What you think people?

cheers

I'm going to put this in the techie section since I really need to know if I have a duff pump or not.
