ahhh, one of them seems to make a clicking sound... which it doesnt seem to do all the time, and you can feel it pulsing.
every now and then i get a clicking sound in the engine bay, it can be heard from either side of the heads, has anyone suffered this. If so what was the cause

Nothere not fpr's. What there are i dont know. I removed mine when i changed my fuel system. The o/e fpr is on the end of the fuel rail. The parts pictured if removed you can look straight through them and blow/suck in both directions so there no a one way valve or anything like that

hmmm, cheers for that turbotits.. i did take them off and realised you could see straight through them as well as blow/suck...
still confused as to why the pipe feels like its pulsing... could it be a failing fuel pump??

The pulsings normal. Thats the pump pumping and regulator opening/shutting to keep a steady pressure
