Replacement fuel pump.
The question is this. I was expecting to have to pay about ?80 for a new fuel pump, but looking on Euro car parts, they have part 441440100 which is the bosch pump at ?79 which is what I expected, and then part 441440101 for ?36, which is an 'alturnative quality brand' which in this case is a make called Macht who I've never head of. Anyone know if this cheaper alturnative is any good, as I don't really want to shell out ?80 if I don't have to!

Do you have a lift pump in yours? An '83 shouldn't have but if it fails it is very noisy and sounds like the main fuel pump. Worth checking before you shell out on a new pump to find it's the same.
By the way i've got used fuel pumps.

Think I'll go with a new one, as I'm pretty sure it's not going to be the easiest of jobs to change, and I'd hate to buy a used one only for it to fail in another year or so.
