when I turn key before turning over engine I hear a fairly loud noise like a small motor winding up a spring inside instrument cluster-what on earth is it chaps?

Hi

You can hear a buzzing type noise from the electric fuel pumps are you sure it is not this ?

Regards

Hi Gordon,

It could possibly be a case of sound mis-direction. the pumps initially kick in for a second under the rear seat do they before turning over?
