Which fuel pump?
As a rule, if you want a genuine part in an LR packaging, then you need to go to a dedicated LR parts supplier.
If you want an OE part which is the same part be not in LR packaging, then someone like Advanced Factors would be the people to try.

What symptoms are you getting which make you think it needs a new tank pump?
When moving and then accelerating, there is a slight hesitation (wuffle) also the fuel gauge will show half empty when full, done a diagnostic check it shows a fault but will not delete, also at one time it would not start, after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery it started.

The tank fuel pump doesn't pump fuel to the engine, that's not its purpose. The tank pump is there to pass fuel from one side of the tank to the other, as there's a hump between the 2 halves to accommodate the propshaft.
A gauge issue is probably due to a wiring fault in the tank pump/level sensor module, which has been well documented over the years.
You can test the pump simply be measuring the current it's consuming. If the current is below 5 Amps, then the pump needs replacing. If it's consuming more than 5 Amps, then the pump is probably ok.
