Default Fuel Pressure Sensor

My new-to-me 1998 Disco threw a code the other day and it turns out it is the fuel pressure sensor. These are located on top of the (now discontinued) fuel pump in this model, and cannot be purchased individually without the pump. Anyone know if I can get away with changing just the sensor, and if so where to find one? I can't even find a part # for it from LR since it is attached to the pump.

1998 Discovery, 4.0

unplug it before it shorts your tps, yes I am serious it will short your tps to ground trip ecm to high idle and require the ecm be reset, dig through my thread you will find it and see how I know, I got a used sender from a member here in calif. no issues


the sensor is a permanent part of the fuel sender not serviceable need a good used sender or buy a new one for the crazy money they want at one of the rover parts houses
