Bagofbones...exactly wat the lads just said .... More than likely its not screwed in enough .. when you screw it in and it stops ...give it another quarter turn ...
ye might'n think it but it SHOULD be this tight ...

Try this and get back to us if its still buzzin..

Same mate the flickering was just it wasn,t conecting properly & there was a zzzzzzz! zzzzzzz! noise, couple more turns (nice and tight) sorted it.

Hope thats all it was for you..
