I found a source for fuel pump - Duckworth in the UK sells that for approx. 450 GBP, more or less $710-ish all in ... compared to $800-$1000-ish here (w/o shipping) that various places ask for it.

Question:
Are there differences for this part between different regions, due to emission regulations differences for example?

Part number:
C2N1147

 

Bob,

According to the Parts Manual, the range of fuel pump options for 4.2 litre models is dependent on both VIN and market for Normally Aspirated engines but only on VIN for SuperCharged:

You look to have struck lucky with the XKR where C2N1147 fits all.

I just replaced both pumps on my 2001 XKR Bosch instead of Jaguar (these were made in Germany) for a total of $179.00 off of E-Bay. I could not tell where the jaguar ones were made, but these work great the only difference was that the electrical connector was different I just spliced it I'm not sure but I believe the 2003 requires two pumps also. I only had one go out but since it's such a hassle to replace you might as well replace both.
Good Luck
