Be sure your sitting down when you phone for a price for a new ceramic seal! if my memory is right its daft money!
we've got 2 27 pumps and both need new mechanical seals, dreading ringing for price after we fitted one to a Bauer pump a few years ago, I think it was £400ish
will look, slurry went it to pipe but just was pulsing, there shouldn't be any plastic as tank is emptied twice a week to bottom.You have checked for any plastic in the pump body or anything blocking the impeller?

Should I just stick the volley washer down the outlet then have a fish around? Stones could be likely as very stoney farm.definitely check then, could be a stone, potato, fodder beet, lump of silage or plastic or anything else, doesn't take much could be string around the impeller shaft

O ring was changed a couple of weeks ago and I can't use tanker pipe as quick couple onto hi specAnother thing maybe worth a look is the O-ring on your suction pipe, or maybe a split in the suction pipe? You dont happen to be using say the slurry tanker pipe rather than the usual one for the pump? been there done that.... pump i am used to doesnt like anything other than a genuine Bauer coupling on it.
Did have pump backup to edge of tank so about a meter of pipe was above slurry, did listen for air leak around pipe but didn't hear anything, but may try mud to seal ityeah get the volume washer in and clean it right up, get a torch in the back,
could be a split in the suction pipe, sometimes when you prime it and listen around the suction hose you can hear the air leaking, grab some mud and seal it up
