Buzzing noise behind dash
When I turn the key to position 2 I hear a buzzing noise, it sounds like something electrical but on research people said it's a fan to do with climate control.
But I only hear it on position 2 ? When the car is running I don't hear it , when the car is off I don't hear it , it's only on in position 2 when I'm just about to start the car.
Maybe it is the fan just acting different to everyone else's

Mine is different as the people in them posts say they can hear it for up to 20 mins after the car is turned off , I don't hear it at all , when the car is running I don't hear it, it's just at position 2, nobody else has the exact problem as mine

do you have a code reader? maybe try and check them again, either way fuel pump always runs for a second when you turn the ignition. changing it isn't too complicated if you're a diy. chrisfix has a video on it

Luke, what year is your Jag? Early models the fan in the links I posted is tied to the ignition. A few years later they changed it to tie in to the "auto off" relay. Also if you read my link, it states that mine made no noise before cleaning it (dirty) & after cleaning it, I can only hear it putting my ear actually on the vent because I'm lucky and mine is still very quiet during operation.
The fuel pump sound comes from behind you not from the dash.

I have a very thorough thread on replacing my fuel pump with contributions from other members including measurements, pictures, etc. The rubber bung in your picture is an access port to the electrical, not to any "pump" or as I understand it on diesel a "swirl pot". I believe it still has senders on each side of the saddle bag tank to control leveling fuel from side to side, fuel gauge level, low fuel light.
Note the same rubber bung in the same position on mine with initial marking to begin cutting access hole.
