Have you just had a CD changer put in?

Sorry. What kind of noise is it? A hum, clunk, tick?

Probably the fuel pressure relief valve. Makes a sort of rumble/click if you pressurise the system and don't start up. Usually get this when I switch on the electrics to open the boot before letting the immobiliser activate - if u know what I mean.

Cheers,

Seconded. Fuel pressure release valve or purge tank valve.
