Looking for a TIP145 equivalent

I'm looking for a replacement for a PNP Darlington Transisitor TIP145. I can't find one around Brisbane (so it seems) and am wondering what people would suggest as a replacement.I'm a mug at electronics and of course my need is immediate otherwise I could get one from Futurlec. DSE online appear to have them but who knows how long I'd have to wait now the face is gone.Out of interest, this component from the circuit board buried in a load of foam in an old Repco 12V fuel pump. They cost about $140 these days!The pump ceased to work suddenly but mechanically it is fine and the coil(s) seem fine. I decided it was simple to replace all components once I opened and cleaned it up. I am a bit puzzled how the thing works at all. It has five resistors and three diodes plus the transistor and the two coils around the iron slug that does the pumping.Thanks folks,Dave
