Just wanted to add that US models starting in '83 1/2 onward have the roller type pump with the supply pump (a.k.a "pre-pump"). I should add that on my previous '84 the supply pump went out causing lack of fuel pick-up when tank levels were low (meaning 1/4 tank or below). That ran me about $60 at the local parts store (alas, non-OEM part) plus $6 for the little filter sock/strainer.
The Bentley 8V manual (if yours is an 8V) shows really good pictures and instructions on removal and testing of the pumps. I highly recommend it because at the time my previous '84's pump died, I had only the Haynes and Chilton's manuals. They were throroughly confusing. (Haynes only had pics of pre-'83 pump w/o supply pump and mentioned nothing about the supply pump!)
I hope this helps!
