Rimmers do an aftermarket unit, fits my 4.0 don't think the 5.0 is any different but if it is I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along to correct me!

AFAIK the only difference is between pre-serp and serp engines. The pumps are also standard Range Rover items from any good LR parts supplier. About £60 seems right.

Take your time with the bolts into the ally block. If you have the time, put lots of penetrating oil on the bolts every day for a few days before you start. Top tip from a Range Rover expert is not to leave the pump off too long or else the ally timing cover relaxes and can seep oil. So if leaving it overnight, refit a pump and nip up the bolts.

You can do it without losing much coolant if you cap or plug the big pipes (red caps or plastic bag & tape).
