wow really? a fuel pump from the dealer for a LCR costs £240 odd. i picked one up for £120 and stuck it in myself (for free)...under the back seat... unless theres something im missing with diesels lol
they must be having you on check gsf for the part and get it done by compitent garage if the part is £250 then they are charger you £1050 for labour they are having a laugh i get get an engine bought and fitted for less that thatI'm with Seatmann, some diesel fuel pumps are ridiculously expensive. More than a grand is taking the pee though.
tell them you'll just ride your unicorn instead 
i would guess probably been quoted for the main engine mounted high pressure distributor pump on the older style motor not a piddly electric one in the tank
those old style pumps are a £1k+ new /£500+ exchange or so hell sometimes double that, just ask a zafira diesel driver
if you let me know the car details/engine code ill look up the numbers and see what else has it fitted as they are around flea-bay for £100+ or so second hand if you look about

yeah, that's the fella's. I've seen a few cars on Ebay being ridiculously cheap, and I smile when I see 'just needs a new fuel pump'...
as has been said if its the high pressure fuel pump in the engine bay they £1300 sounds about right if its the primer pump in the tank then that is a massive rip off
There's a lesson to be learnt by all here, nothing on a car it out of antbirds reach to DIY, Yes you must know what your doing from a safety point of view, but times are changing with added financial woes impacting our passion and hobby the only way we can continue is to give it a go ourselves, never trust a dealer or garage on prices source the part yourself if need be, but have a go yourself you may suprise yourself with how easy stuff is to do, the only thing I pay other people to do is an MOT and Tyre fitting the rest over the years I've learnt to do and I have saved a small fortune! I can't imagine entrusting my money to a garage or dealership makes me feel sick thinking about it! In all seriousness just start to build a tool base, there are loads of how to guides on many forums for just about anything pick the right day take plenty of time and GIVE IT A GO!
Sorry it's off topic slightly but I think it's highly relevant!

the bosch fuel pump is around £700 notes to buy i believe and the rest is labour.... the same pump on a 307 pug cost my m8 £1400 as they have to take the engine out to do it... all the vauxhall and 1.4 pugs and ford diesels have them...
so if you buy 1 of these models to save money on fuel thats all very well but 1 bill at £1300 quid turns that in to expensive motoring you may as well buy a range rover to run lol
