This is a typical bull**** way of repairing a vehicle, keep changing parts out until its fixed or the customers wallet is bled dry.
At the end of the day doing proper diagnostics cost time and money, so its done to a minimum.

Take to a decent mechanic that knows diesels.

The above is the best piece of advice you'll ever get
So many time I was told by the specialists "we'll investigate" and it meant changing things almost randomly or according to the fault code ( ECU, EGR, Air sensor, pumps etc) only to find the problem was not fixed and you are back to square one just with a lighter wallet.
Than I found an old fashion mechanic that eats breaths and s....ts diesel engines. Never went back to the specialist. He always tells me exactly what the problem/problems are ( or can be), shows me the faulty or broken parts once they are replaced.
Any car is only as good as the mechanic you know..... The worst are the "official mechanics" it's like comparing Mcdonald menu to Grandma's cooking.

Any tips on how you find a diesel specialist?

the local LR specialist (not LR dealer) is still $4,800 for both pumps and is warning me against doing just one of them as it could make it fail again if the LPFP isn’t supplying it correctly. It’s important to add he used to work at LR so I assume he follows the same book.

I need this resolved ASAP as it happened in the harbour tunnel last night.

The LPFP I could possibly do myself, I’m researching this right now

Theres a tunnel under the harbour??


I need to get out more,,,[bigsad]

You're not wrong!!
If you go into ANY dealers workshop .. you will find 'apprentices' working on your vehicle @ the 'qualified' mechanics $$$ rate.
Not only working on your vehicle ... but making all the mistakes that 'trainees' do on the job ... and not a qualified 'supervising' mechanic anywhere in site.
If you're not mechanically minded .... and not prepared to do the repairs yourself, as many have said ... find a REPUTABLE independent LR mechanic, who is familiar with your type/model of vehicle. Don't be afraid to get 2nd or 3rd opinions if you think things don't sound right.
