    Hi there,

    Just been giving my 1600 driver a quick once over.

    I started looking into a loud ticking noise from the engine bay. Anyway, from the engine bay it sounds like its coming from around the carb. But upon using my trusty screw driver as a stethoscope the fuel pump is making a ticking noise to the same rhythm.

    Like I said in the engine bay it doesn't sound like its coming from the pump, but no where else is making any horrible noises like it.

    Now obviously I'd expect a certain ticking noise from the pump but I can only assume the noise I can here in the engine bay is indeed the pump.

    Basically I'm just after confirmation that I'm right! (Probably!) and also where the best place to get a replacement. I looked on ECP website and they list 2. One expensive one, one cheaper one. Anyone know the difference?

    Cheers

    Alec
