Under 40mph, the noise disappears (even on rough roads). I think it might be a piece of trim external to the car, but was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue before and could direct me to the likely possible candidate for the source, before I take it back to the dealer and they strip the whole dash apart!!
Great web site by the way and very helpful reading prior to purchasing the car!
I have a similar rattle that starts at about 55mph, and which disappears when I slow below about 45mph. My dealer said it is something to do with the vents behind the dash. I can't tell you whether they are right yet, as there seems to be a problem getting hold of the replacement parts
