I can't remember exaxtly but I have a figure of 35-40PSI in my head,
if you car has 100,000K+ then it is a fairly good chance the pump will need replacing. If you can get the pump out (dunno if there is a floor access panel in a disc) and take it to a parts shop (not a land rover shop) and get them to match it - mine cost $160ish last year
