Whooo i question i can answer!  :grin:

The fuel pump buzzs all the time, you should hear a little hum/whir from the back all the time the car is running.

Make sure the in-tank lift pump is working. When this fails the main pump has to work harder and so it makes more noise, then eventually fails.
