another problem ive got while im asking is when i put my handbrake on my fuel pump goes loud as soon as i take handbrake of it is fine ive checked and made sure my handbrake cable isnt crushing a fuel pipe so any ideas on this aswell would be appreciated thanks

Loose bonnet hinge (as you supected) tighten it up and it will be fine.

I would guess it's a wiring issue with the handbrake/pump. Trace it back and see what's what.

You can only tighten it up if it's been replaced at some point. They are some fancy rivet from the factory, when it wears it rattles. Not sure if you can still get them but Vx sold a shouldered bolt to go with replacement hinges, that's the only fix.

Ah, I have only experienced the bolted/replaced type then. Every day is a school day!

Get your melon in there, drill out the rivet, then bolt it imo.
