IMO it depends on how much the engine ran in these years and if the parts were genuine or not
The engine had new injector seals and O rings in Oct 2015. Would they go bad so quickly?

Then nothing strange cos i had to change them on mine at around 180k km
Discovery Td5 (2000), manual, tuned
My bad, more like 90,000km.
Any way the pressure test gear will get here, one day...
That will confirm or eliminate the pump.

I had similar issue with the pump. It felt low on power but would drive normally, but if you needed to overtake. Forget it....
It was the pump. I replaced it with a ebay pump and it lasted maybe 4 months. However, this would work well for an hour but after an hours driving the pump just could push the 4bars. I end up replace the pump only from somewhere in Europe. Has been good ever since.
I don't reckon it's your injector seals
Injector seals are cheap to replace, compared to the pump. The pump is a whole lot easier to replace. I'm hoping the pump is the cause.

This is the pump I brought if it helps
FUEL PUMP LAND ROVER DISCOVERY II 2.5 TD TD5 WFX101080 WFX000240 WFX000280 | eBay
It's a little fidley to swap over but much cheaper than buying the complete VDO pump
I've seen the VDO versions on eBay,
Land Rover Discovery Defender TD5 Fuel Pump Kit Genuine VDO Made in Germany | eBay
How tricky is it to replace?
I might get this one

Easy once you've done it once before.
Initial hard part is to undo the locking ring. Can't imagine it will come undone by hand. IIRC we used the tappy-tap-tap method with a screwdriver(or something).
Have a largish container handy to dump the excess diesel out of the fuel pump body. Maybe 1/2 a litre or so will come out WITH the pump.
Install is hard on your own. Others seem to have done it themselves.
Install the rubber seal first then push the pump in ... and needed a lot of downward pressure against the springloaded body to get the lockring on the thread to start it.
