Possibly fuel pump, can you check it against another zed?
Electric pump circa £88 or in-tank pump assembly £288 but prices not latest, as per Rimmer Bros.

Get one from a local scrappy, not certain but they may all be the same spec, including any Rover injection etc

Having never removed one I would guess a whole assembly might be best as the sender is part of the assembly. However it is not a tank in place procedure, so the tank will need to be dropped to access it.

What engine is yours? Not sure about the 2.5 but i know the k-series 1.4/1.6/1.8 uses the same pump across the range and im pretty sure they use the same pump as the old 400 so plenty in the scrapyards.
