Certainly, what you hear is motor running, what usually fails is the pump itself not the motor so you would still hear it running but it would not suck, you can buy repair kits on e-bay.

Breakdown man useless!
They always are unless you run out of petrol or get a puncture and do not fancy changing a wheel yourself. I never had signed for them but had quite a bit of funny stories from a friends one of the latest big mistakes was that AA man said fuel pump has packed up for a friend of mine when his C4 A6 stalled , they did tow him to me and it turned out that one side of engine lost oil delivery, camshaft seized up and cambelt jumped over, engine were a write-off.
