Evening All,
I have a picture quiz that I was hoping someone might be able to help with. I am trying to identify the item ringed in red on the attached photo. It lies under a host of wires and pipes and seems to have a metal cover over it. I ask because mine is making a noise like a bag of budgies and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be!
All help appreciated. In case the picture isn't clear, it's on the top of the engine, front n/s adjacent to the fuel filter, but attached to the motor, not the body.

Now based on no picture. definitely animal

here's the pic btw:

Could it be the imminent pre self destruction of the left hand side turbo charger warning noise?

You may have to strip it down a bit to get a better view?
It is not a big job to remove the NS air filter box and see if that reveals any clues?

Having a closer look through the workshop manual, it seems that it might be the fuel pump? Does that make sense and is there a known problem - or maybe just a bad batch of diesel? I've recently replaced the oil cooler after failed gasket...oil in water...nasty smell etc, could there be any connection?
