The buzzing will be the main pump having to work harder cos your in-tank pump has stopped working. Usually the buzzing starts around 1/4 of a tank of fuel. Mine has been doing just that for about 3+ years now They will soldier on, as I have found - not good practice though!

I have a replacement in tank pump ready to go (Volvo job about £80 worth).

Shall be fitting it in July with Cumbrianmale's assistance I'll take some pics & post em' up
Would it be a waste of money to replace the fuel pump relay for this problem then?

I do suspect that my in-tank fuel pump probably has failed, but I'm far too terrified to do anything about it, having read several posts on this forum!

I will be very interested to see your pictures - good luck!
