Fuel pump price?

Hey gang just wondering if anyone knows an approximate price for repair of a leaking diesel fuel pump from 80 series 1-hdt engine. That's the 4.2 turbo 91 year model. A reputable place here in bris quoted $100 - 280 if it was just the front seal and able to do it on the car. $900 - 1200 for a basic reseal and rebuild off the car and up to $2500 if it needed a mod done to it as it was the older style pump and had problems of "mid speed surges" sometimes when re-sealed.

I quik note. At its last service I took it to another diesel specialist in Bris. and a day later noticed the leak. I took it back to them as I had never had the problem before. They said that it had nothing to do with km's but that they all start to go at that age. I asked how much and he said straight out $900. My brother went a couple of weeks later to get his similar aged Navara serviced and a day later, you guessed it, fuel leaking from fuel pump. He took it back and asked why and they said that they all go at around that many km's regardless of age. His has done 150, 000 and my lc has done 220, 000. He also asked what price to fix you guessed it straight out $900.

This seems a bit suspect to me and I wonder if they have caused the problem for the cheap fix and will charge for the full re-seal. Anybody have any thoughts. Interesting that the explanation was reversed a couple of weeks later, maybee thaey forgot what bull bleep they had shovel to customers in those couple of weeks.
