1999 1.8 Fuel Pump - mojd1

Hi
My Focus cut out and wouldn't start again. Garage report is Fuel pump, replacable with recon part for £600+ labour. I asked if poss to fix with 2nd hand part to save £ and was told that this is not an option due to part coding/decoding or something?

Can anyone advise on a cheaper alternative,
p.s. I've also seen horror stories on net of pump been replaced only to find out that the Cam shaft sensor was to blame and £1k had been spent needlessly.

Please help.
