The underbonnet pump should start running as soon as you turn the ign on, I reckon this is failing by your descriptions...

I should add for anyone interested that the pump was making that loud sound and the car wouldn't start. After hitting it with the screwdriver the noise reduced slightly but continued, however the car then started.
Edit: here's a video of the pump shortly before I hit it. That noise is all coming from the pump. https://youtu.be/CT9sujuj5-I Last edited by AndrewJames; 1st December 2020 at 07:59.. |

Easy enough job to swap the pump, battery tray out, and it’s accessible 👍
