Help please. Funny noise.

[Calumkirk]

Anyone have any idea of what this noise might be. It’s a funny pulsing whirring noise. 

[ColinBarber]

any idea where it is coming from - inside cabin / engine bay etc?

If inside, try setting the airflow control manually to one position and turning off the climate control to help determine if it is an air diverter valve hunting and making the noise.

No idea from that but come on, we're good but not that good.

Is it from the front? Back? Engine bay? With engine running or not? When the car is moving or not? When braking? When accelerating? When coasting?

None of the above?

Sounds like it’s coming from behind the instrument binnacle. Was doing it yesterday when I stopped at lights etc.

Apologies.  Noobie error.  It’s coming from behind the instrument binnacle, when stationary and also when moving slowly and then when stopping. Also does it when the key is one position from the “ready” position.

are all the gauges still working?

[Calumkirk]

Think it may be coming from the steering wheel binnacle actually?  Seems to be almost inaudible today. I adjusted the little button which moves the position of the wheel and can’t hear it now!

Yes.  Seems to be fine but taking it back to dealer tomorrow so will update tomorrow.

Could be to do with the steering wheel adjustment motors/switch then. 

Be very interested to know the result.

Thanks for the help.  Took it back to the garage who were very helpful, took apart the heater unit and it turns out that there is a piece where pins sit in some grooves on an adjacent piece and one of the pins were not seated correctly, causing that noise and a rattling at speed,  the engineer reset the pins and all seems good

No it was complimentary done by the garage I bought the car from, top service to be honest.

That`s a refreshing piece of news.Thanks and well done. Care to name the garage as they seem worthy of support?
