As an alternative to what?

If you buy the oil pump and seals/gaskets etc from the Ford dealer you will pay about about $200 and you get the later FoMoCo oil pump and Landrover seals/gaskets - yes these seals come in green LR packets with LR part numbers.

If you buy the oil pump and seals/gaskets etc from the LR dealer you will pay about about $500 and you get the later FoMoCo oil pump in Ford packaging and Landrover seals/gaskets in green LR packets with LR part numbers.

This is on the assumption that as you said the 3.0 and the latest 2.7 oil pumps are the same. 07MY RRS TDV6

Well for one... non of the prices are from a Dealer so the Ford product may well be the same or similar price and it depends on the manufacture date they have... the last 2 numbers can mean a lot in terms of the latest iteration.
There are also some alternative supply sources one of which is Overseas..
Once I can get accurate pricing from reliable sources then I will have a better idea of which way to go.. Plus I have to see if either of the Mechanics are willing to fit parts I supply... then there is also any attached Warranty from those repairs that could be affected. Plenty of decisions still to be made, it isnt as cut and dried as you make out.

Genuine L/R oil pump, latest part number LR123716 from Lrdirect $547.73 + $68.00 shipping. I have received parts from then in 5 days to NZ by DHL. I don't really think any dealer/supplier is going open the boxes up and check the last couple of letters until the find the newest one for you.

Thanks for that info Col. Hmm quite a difference in prices from aftermarket through to OEM both on the OIl pump and a timing belt kit.
I have been away for work so need to get back onto organising this service. I will go down and see both mechanics regarding me supplying the parts as there seems to be a dramatic difference in what I am being told and what I can get from LRdriect.

Personally for something as critical as a oil pump, I would buy from a main dealer or at the very least from a Citroen/Peugeot dealer as suggested, would not even consider a cheapo ebay etc. so called O.E unbranded god knows made where pump.

100% agree but even with "OEM" branded there are large variations.

Even looking at what is available from LRdirect there is a large variation... I must admit the Britpart OEM price is good but is it worth saving a couple of hundred $$ on a critical part.... retorical question I know.

Allmakes and Britpart OEM pumps are the proper FoMoCo pumps, with the Ford numbers ground off

I think DM may have solved you're dilemma for you, reasonable prices for genuine part, without paying double for it to be in a nice white box with a pretty green logo on it.

In Aust - what is wrong with buying a Ford part from a Ford dealer, particularly when it is cheaper. Why would you bother with Brit Part, Citroen, Peugeot or whatever. 07MY RRS TDV6

Is it actually cheaper from Ford???? I havent had a chance to check with a Ford Dealer but the checking that I did carry out from online sellers was that none of the so called OEM items were original FOMOCO, be it for a Citeron, Peuogot, Ford or Range Rover but were "aftermarket" items.
So unitl I can get pricing from a Ford Dealer I have no real idea on the pricing... maybe you have more information than I do though.

Are they actual prices?? From my view "about" is probably a guess....
LIke I said earlier... when I get the opportunity (probably next week now) I will check with a Ford Dealer to see exactly what their pricing is like... until then it is all supposition apart from the pricing I showed from the UK.. that is factual.

My “about” prices are because of exchange rate. I don’t want to say $239.42AUD then the exchange rate make it $245.86AUD a week later. However, those were the prices (+/- $1AUD) when I looked up the part numbers/prices that day I posted. By the way, the oil pump is showing $239.42AUD as of today at current exchange rate. Of course you may get a more or less favorable exchange rate, thus the “about”. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

So.. for the sake of honest and open communication on all this... Ford Australia list the oil pump at $318.00 available in a few days.
The gasket to go with the oil pump is.... and wait for it... $497.00
Looking on LRdirect the gasket ranges from a Britpart OEM gasket of A$18.38 to an Original LR gasket at A$126.67
Even the spares person I spoke to said that was over the top...
So now I need to find out pricing from LR here in Aus, just to be sure. It has been an interesting exercise and I have at least found some good places to get parts (LRDirect for one).

To be honest... the "home grown advice" was not filling me with confidence...and as for why I am in this forum and not AULRO, well I am a member there but prefer the info etc that is shared on this site... fairly simple really.
