I don't think it can be repaired internally.

What model and year is your MINI ?

HPFP looks like this: There is an early HPFP for the N14 engine pictured below. Then a newer one for the N18 engine.

It can not be. Well it could be, but none of the internal parts that would or could be serviced are sold by BMWNA/MINIUSA.

Anything can be repaired, (ask an old school mechanic) but @ what cost (time, parts, failure rate)? We operate in the "dumb it down" replace it era (or even worse shotgun techs...) of automotive service/repair. Most of the engineers and manufactures look at their service tech's as at best "parts replacers" who lack the skill to perform such tasks as rebuilding things of this nature. To be quite honest, I don't think I'd want many of the techs in the industry today even attempting something of this nature just for the above reason. Kinda of sad though...even sadder is many of these techs don't even know how the part "physically" functions.
