You can get a "Proline" drop in replacement from Rovers North:
LAND ROVER PARTS - FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT RANGE ROVER & DISCOVERY
CHEAP!

Else, you can get JUST the pump by using an Airtex replacement from Advance Auto for about $80...but that does not change any wiring issues....

I believe the Airtex is Part Number E3270 and it works WELL.

But Danny Lee's advice is the best way to proceed....

I have a very similar problem, and want to apply 12V directly to the pump to check if it is a power issue or a pump issue.
I am only getting 5V across any of the 2 plugs connected to the pump (97 d1 V8, gas, with EVAP).
Which one is power? The RAVE doesn't seem to indicate/describe the system with EVAP.
Thanks!!
Richard
PS I posted this as a separate thread as the year and likely the pump is different, so if I get a response, I'll post an update to both to help anyone else going through this nightmare!.

Some pumps have red and back, some have green and black. It's the red or the green for power. The wires go up to the top of the fuel pump, attach power there.

Good luck.
