my fuel pump has started to make a buzzing noise. does this mean it is about to die? i have a spare ready to fit. is it worth swapping them over now?
any tips on the easiest way to fit?

Doesn't that mean it's on?
They're quite straight forward from what I remember, just undo the bracket and take the pipes off.. oh use wd40 on the bolts
worth replacing then? never made a buzzing/vibrating noise before? i am low on fuel though...could that be related?
......what does low on fuel mean?? Is the light on??
My reserve pump is really loud when it kicks in....
the auxiliary pump is located at the front of the reserve tank
Put in some fuel and see if the noise dissapears... Is the noise intermittent?
how much do you know about your particular 5?....may be an idea to go through the basic service items an replace things like fuel filter to...just keep tabs on everything an make a note when you fitted certain things..
From what it sounds like your saying, it's the reserve pump pumping into main. It'll only do it for around 30 seconds or so from what I recall. You don't want to run it near empty otherwise you'll only be striping your carb down eventually
