I'd budget for a pump (part number 171 906 091A) - prices see above - the sound absorber for the pump although you could recycle the old one - but a brand newie is only like ?8 (part no 155 201 769) a new accumulator (447 133 441) - about ?80 - the line that links the pump to the accumulator (533 201 220) - about ?25 - and don't bank on getting the old line off that easily: it has been exposed under the car for 20 years…. the damping ring to hold the accumulaor (533 201 533A) and the sealing washers that ensure a clean seal between the accumulator and the pump (N0138128)
So you're probaly looking at ?200 to ?250 all up if you want to go the complete replacement route - which is what I'd do.

The system (as i understand it) works like this - turn on the ignition - a lifter pump in the tank primes the fuel pump. This takes a few seconds and the lifter pump cuts out (on a timer relay hooked up at the fuse box). The fuel pump provides fuel to the acumulator. The accumulator ensures there is always pressure in the system which is a return loop. Fuel (under pressure) is delivered to the injectors where it is consumed by the engine as needed. Unconsumed fuel is returned to the tank.
If you are having fuel pressurisation problems (sounds like you are) the problem may be in the pump and / or may be in the accumulator.
My experience is that seperating the fuel pump from the accumulator can be difficult as the fittings are (a) tight and (b) locked in place afetr 20 years of exposure and non-disturbance.
To ensure you contain the problem in a "single hit" and to ensure you can get everything apart and back together again, I would consider replacing the pump, the accumulator and the connector between the two - but it's your call - try just doing the pump and see how you get on.
Let us know how it goes.

I need a fuel filler pipe also
If your old fuel filler pipe has rusted, don't forget you'll need to fish any rust out of the tank with a magnet while you're in there replacing the fuel pump. Apologies if this is blindingly obvious but I learned it the hard way

Let us all know how you get on
Good luck - and don't forget the rubber seal where the filler neck meets the body…
