Excuse my very bad description of my garden pump but its stopped working. First of all I thought it was the filter so I cleaned both of them and that solve When I turn it on I can hear it buzzing but the thingy that spins around doesn't move. I took the front off and the spinny bit moves freely so that isn't seized.

Any ideas or is it knackered?

The spinney bit (Impeller) is normally attached to a magnetic tube type thing. you should be able to remove the whole thing(Pulls out) then clean the inside, replace and try again.

Do you know the make/model of the pump?

I'll have to clean all the outside of the pump to find the make etc. The reason its grubby is because, for some reason, all the waste pipes from the kitchen and bathroom (not soil) goes to a soak away which builds up and overflows so I just keep the pump in the soak away and flick it on when I go for a smoke.

when I am standing there having a smoke and hear a gurgle noise (the pump - not my lungs!) I do switch it off
