Yes the fuel pump was replaced about 70k KMS ago. I believe the fuel filter was done that same time.
The only reason I replaced the fuel pump was for preventative maintenance (approx 200k KMS on it at that time) and the fuel signal sender was sticking from time to time on it.

Never had this issue with the old pump, which I still have but didn't bother to insert again.

I'm sorry for butting into this conversation with no useful information to help, but does this mean the faster you drive, the longer your fuel pump lasts? for example, 120,000/40 = 3000 but 120,000/80 = 1500

if this is the case does this mean driving "spiritedly" is better than driving like a grandma

Yup you get more miles out of fuel pump the faster you drive. They wear out by hours not miles
