Hi...just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. It has only done it three or four times over six months. When I turn off the ignition, I hear this loud moan/groan type sound coming from the rear of the car..I am thinking its the fuel pump in the tank (I guess theres one there)..anyone had the same thing happen or have any ideas??

Scott.

I beleive that some of the ECCS systems run the pump for a few seconds after shut down to build up fuel pressure. They do this to minimise the chances of heat soak boiling the fuel and causing vapour lock in the fuel lines. They also have a electronic solenoid on the vacumm line to the regulator to give the rail full pressure. So it could well be your pump building up full pressure.

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
    • Not a fan of "racing stripes" really, I've seen a few done, with different styles of stripes, but no, not for me Although younger Mark probably would have thought differently about them
    • The correct answer is body colour. Admittedly it does look pretty handsome as-is in grey.
    • I'm surprised there isn't any interest in this.
