Mine does this on really cold days, shortly after engine start up - sounds like a groaning sound of a pump - only for about 30 secs often less.
I thought it was the high pressure fuel pump at first, but everything seems to run fine.
Haven't looked into it further yet - was planning on wiring a remote start for the FBH - but trying to find the time is proving difficult at the moment.

Hi un :welcome:

Theres loads on here about FBHs.. you wanna do a :search:

The funny noise from the FBH is perfectly normal at start up

Thanks all and Greenie went in search found a lot of good info. There a good one fro TD4&ABIT about putting in dash board switch so you have some control over the FBH being on or off. Going to have a go at doing this when I get the time.

That pot that came right after the flowers did hurt you know ......
All I know/did about/of modifications was things I got from people on this forum, so everything is well documented on this site already. Enough of typing in a keyword and do a search (the search of the forum, not the Google search), see Steve555Y's reply confirming what I just said....:drum:

yu ickle tease, Willo
