2001 FL1 TD4 ES Fuel Pump

Hi, I am having a problem identifying what primary fuel pump I would need to buy for my model. A problem appeared after visiting my local car wash, in short it felt like my car was being assaulted at the rear end by a very happy roller brush! the following day was fine but the second day the dreaded fast cranking no firing appeared. I have changed the under bonnet secondary fuel pump and filter which has improved things but I nave to wait until the pump stops before it will start unlike before it would start as soon as the glow plug lamp extinguished, all I can think is that the severe bouncing up and down it got for 15 minutes did some damage to the primary pump. The vehicle still out performs itself after it stars with a very quick acceleration and very fast cruising speed which I have enjoyed since owning it and this is apart from the crap sunroof is all the trouble I have had.
My rave cd is useless as windows reports that it cannot open it owing to an unsupported software problem which happened after they binned adobe..
Please does anyone know what model is correct for my car please, I have the bullet proof M47 bmw motor.
Thank you.

If you have a fuel pump on the nearside front inner wing, then the other LP pump is in the tank, as part of the level sensor assembly.

What sort of car wash bounces the vehicle? Maybe one to avoid!

I like your confidence of the M47 boat anchor too.

Sorted! got the blasted rave disc to run on windows 10 and worked out which pump and filter I needed. Gave up with the fiddly little screw that eventually disappeared into the gravel drive and used a cunning tiewrap, a lot better but still taking too long to start so I bought a new in tank pump with new seal which I will fit tomorrow but am not holding my breath just crossing off the boxes, I have also bought a brand new high pressure pump regulator which I think is the culprit as the fuel pump runs for far too long as if it cant build up the pressure quick enough...in the mean time I suffered the dreaded intermittent hard brake pedal fear factor 10 fault, I found on the vacuum pipe T piece the braided pipes end was sitting on at a 45 degree angle, closer inspection, yup it was split into 4 and was leaking, chopped off the end, re routed it and bingo problem solved, now will order new piping.
Bloody expensive car wash because non of this happened until I came out, I had a non working brake coming out of it and put it down to hot wax but now guess the violent bouncing caused a degraded pipe to give up the ghost.
