diesel injection pump

Hi I am having starting problems with my 1800 escort diesel van 51 plate

Been told it may be the injection pump not sure yet so I thought I will get a second hand pump if this turns out to be the problem. But I have now been told that if I fit a second hand pump from another van it will not work as they are coded to the engine.

Can any one tell me if this is correct if so is there a way round this.

Thanks

    Hi. I have put on new starter motor, glow plugs, battery, primer pump,

    Oil, fuel and air filters. Its fine when running but the longer I leave it the

    Harder it is to start.
