Bit surprised Bosch is anything other than metric. Hot engine might help. Lots of Plusgas too but away from any rubber.
I'm sure it will be metric but spanners tend to be a reasonably loose fit so I thought if there was an imperial size in between it might give a more snug fit

15/16" AF (across flats). Well if 23 mm is too small and 24 mm is to big 15/16" AF, 23.8125 mm is the only spanner size in between.

Thought you'd gone out there and measured it! Surprised but guess anything is possible with Land Rover.
Result..!! Thanks to everyone who helped here especially Mr Mark Piercy.. I had another go tonight as I was leaving rainbow puddles everywhere. I was a bit reluctant to start hitting a fuel pump with a hammer, but two taps with a sharp wood chisel and the whole thing broke its seal and came off with the 15/16" spanner.
For info, if anyone is thinking about doing this, there doesn't seem to be anything ready to jump out when it came off, the pump didn't need bleeding or resetting and with the battery back on, it fired up first time,(bit of a cough for a second, but works). Again thanks for everyone's advice, now just have to try not to think of the smallest car part I've ever bought for £120...ouch !!
