Guys, I am concerned that this is an item I have on my shopping list which I need for my engine rebuild. However I have now seen two posts with one ruined engine and one near miss due to the pumps failing.

My question to you is, should I be worried about this. Is there alternative makes?

there's probably nowt wrong with your old one! I wouldn't replace it unless it was neccessary.

If you can buy the new rotor assembly from GGR, I would do that but use the body of your old oil pump, but as said only needed if worn anyway.

it takes less than 5 minutes to check your oil pump internally for damage if its off the engine,its only a few bolts to remove and easy as making a cup of tea,if not easier.

if its a 2wd pump then you can simply buy a std pinto pump and use the top of your cos pump. sometimes the top is worn a bit so flatten it off with some coarse then smooth wet and dry. the pinto pump is about Ł25

no mine is 4wd, some one else suggested pinto with stronger spring or the likes.
