Before springing for a new fuel pump, get a can of air (yes, they do exist)

Amazon product

and blow your lines back. Should only take 20 minutes or so and could save you thirty odd quid.

Changed the pump (as I had one as a spare) ticking all gone. Blew down the lines while there. Thanks for the advice. Worry I haven't tightened the lines back up enough as it took more than normal cranking today to start, will keep nipping them up.

I will just add that I know a few people who fitted electric lift pumps and a couple who even fitted electric vacuum pumps on their 300s in order to get rid of some of the rattly ticking noises it made.

If I remember rightly it was Audi vac units and facet pumps, I have even seen electric water pumps being fitted these days as they are quite reliable so long as you use reputable brands/makes.
