I find myself in need of a new desoldering pump. I found a number on the
Farnell site, anyone have any recommendations for a good one that does not
cost more than ?25ish (about $40) and for which I can get spare nozzles?

Go the BIG money, you need both a temp controled iron and a built in pump
using compressed air.
I have no idea what it called, but they are a joy to use.

Not for me, at least not the Weller ones--the ones that run from plant
air and have a TCP tip with a glass reservoir stuffed with glass wool.
I found that a plain old Soldapullt works better.
That being said, there are some eBay sellers with a rig consisting of a
40W hollow-tipped iron and a desoldering pump built into a single
unit--and that can be operated with a single hand. I think I paid about
USD$25 for mine and I like it very much. Like any desoldering iron, you
have to take care to keep it tinned.

My soldapult is probably 30 years old now, originally bought by my dad. Works great.

The 'standard' one that Farbnell sell (I think it has a green anodised
body, or at least mine does) is what I use. It seems to work well. And
IIRC it meets your cost requirement.
You can get spare nozzles (and pump washers), but be careful. I bought my
pump about 15 eyars ago. When I got some new nozles for it lsat year, I
found they'd changed the thread, and theat the new nozzles did not fit my
old pump. No biggie, after all it's jsut the PTFE bit that wears out, so
I pressed the remains of that from the end cap of an old and a new nozzle
and fitted the new PTFEW to the original cap. Of course that fitted.
Incidentally, with all desolderign pumps, it's worth taking them apart
from time to time (and when new) and putting a smear of
petroleum jelly
('vaseline') on the pump washer, O-rings, etc. It improves
the seal no end.

Thanks for the tips Tony. I have re-greased my current pump before to
excellent effect, but this time it made no difference, so it is time to get
a better one that will last me. However I am tempted by one of these
combination iron and pump things that would seem to be much more effective
(in principle, not tried in practice).

...spare Nozzles?
Couldn't understand how one can work with such a thing w/o to put some peace
of silicone rubber tubing over the nozzle. But when you are using this,
you don't need no stinking pare nozzles...
