Hi folks, just a little Q. Had my inletmanifold off to paint it the other week and posted a pic. Have put it all back together and I am still messing about in the car with other bit.

My son came into the garage and said cant you here that clicking noise from the engine bay (the ingnition was on but the engine not running) and sure enough a low clicking could be heard from the area off the injector rail.

I have not heard this before manly due to the fact that I start the engine and away we go.

Would I be correct in assuming this is just the power feed to the injector rail OR :eek: have I done some thing wrong.

Thanks and have a nice bank hoils :D
