    Noisy Facet Fuel Pump

    Took the the AT out for a spin today, first time for about 2 months. Have noticed that the facet fuel pump is ticking rather loudly. Iv'e done about 2,000 miles since fitting it. Is this normal?

    As above, sounds like a fuel starvation problem to the pump - I've heard it once or twice before switching to reserve.

    Check yer pipe work

    Finally had the time to get to the bottom of problem, firstly there was a slight kink in fuel line probably after changing fuel pump, but also the tank was nearly empty so turned onto reserve. Either way problem fixed.
