For peace of mind, even though it will cost unless you tackle it yourself, I would expose the timing belt and check whether you have the modified oil pump. Photos in this thread will show you what to look for.
If you've got the weak casting then I recommend you fit the later type pump ASAP.
It would appear that LR will have nothing to do with a claim from an older Disco. I have an 07 SE Disco and it was fitted with the weak pump. This has now been changed to a later FoMoCo pump supplied by Disco_Mikey. Don't buy from LR, they charge double for the same part supplied by Citroen.

Hi,
My car was registered January 2006 and also had the weaker oil pump that I recently got replaced.

just making arrangements to get mine checked out at service (135,000), thinking ahead what is the best brand of pump to get & where is best price.
Thanks in advance

Don't buy any non OEM pump. Make sure it has FoMoCo in the casting. The identical pump can by supplied by Citroen. It's the same as the LR unit but half the price.

I got mine from Disco_Mikey along with belts and crankshaft bolt. Don't try ringing Mike as he is up to his neck in work (a good omen). PM him for a price. Also check out all the threads relating to 'oil pump' on this forum. Stacks of info. Thumbs Up

If you do the work yourself, be aware that the fan bolt is left hand thread. Or advise your fitter if being done by an indy. A few hundred quid spent now could save thousands in future.

07MY seem to be most affected, but not even the early models are immune

So whats the difference between early models and the 2007 if the 2007 is 30X more prone?

Pump of same design but of different quality, surely for being of different manufacturer, although this last one is really a conjecture
