Starting my 2003 2.5 up today and got a low, loud noise from the rear for a few seconds, which then goes away. It is coming from the area of the fuel tank so I suspect the pump is playing up. Are they difficult to change? If I leave it will it get better or just pack up and lave me stranded?

Any one had this sort of thing before?

Not unheard of especially as these cars get older , have you noticed any difference with a full tank of fuel ?
 
I had the same noise a couple of years ago,happened two or three times ,not heard it since.
I can't remember if the tank was low on fuel st the time.
 
Not heard it before today, I did fill up yesterday so l will leave it and see what happens.
