January 19, 201412 yr While driving I noted a funny sound coming from behind the instument cluster. it's hard to describe what the sound is but it's like you move your hands trough a staple of dry leaves. What can this be?
January 19, 201412 yr Safe to say I'm not sure mate sorry :( I'd be tempted to remove the fascia/surround pull it out give it a little Fonzie blow, and put it back see what happens might be a lose connection.
January 20, 201412 yr If you remove the access pannel below the steering column you should be able to see up and round behind the centre console. And up behind the clocks. The piping for the blowers runs across the top of firewall maybe has leaves in ?
January 20, 201412 yr Author That is very well possible as she was from a farmer from new... And the amount of dust etc I have removed from the lugage compartment is inmens ;)
January 21, 201412 yr sounds like leaf or leaves trapped either in the fan or in the trunking, does it change pitch when you turn the fan up or down / disappear when fan turned off?

And the amount of dust etc I have removed from the lugage compartment is inmens ;) IMG_20140116_141810.jpg That looks horrendous i have an issue with people who don't keep the interior of the car clean ! Anyway. Do you have the grilled scuttle area inbetween the bonnet and windscreen ? Mines full of dry leaves and i've not worked out how to remove them without taking half the front off. Might not be the cause of the noise or could be making their way in somehow ?
January 21, 201412 yr Wow yeah thats shocking I'd Have a look at the pollen filter I bet most of it has come through that if it even has one in :D
February 24, 201411 yr Author have noticed that the noise is there when with lots of wind and only with speeds higer then about 50 miles, probably some leaves.
February 25, 201411 yr Looking at the rest of the car I'd say maybe a full tree, might even be able to pick apples from it if you're lucky ;)
February 25, 201411 yr Its probably some woodland creature wondering what the hell happened, one minute foraging in a field next vacuumed up by some huge induction system :D
