Mine is going into the dealership in a weeks time so I'll make them aware of the wind noise, high pitched water pump...again... and suspected wastegate rattle.
Unfortunately I really am beginning to get fed up of this car already  :cry: and I can already see a replacement engine/rejected car in the future

My cars in the dealers for service and first mot, my good friend works at the dealers and this is an issue I brought up with him and he says that this is aknown concern and there is a tpi out for this, he's done the repair and he tells me that the noise is away, result. If only they could set coming home lights to auto like my old ed30

Could you ask him for the TPI number please and a basic outline of the problem & fix?

It should be possible to enable coming home lights, if you don't have auto lights & wipers they might come on every time you unlock the car though, day or night, not really a problem though :)

Will do, but wont be until thursday i'm afraid. Will let you know as soon as.  I have auto lights and wipers but have to flash headlight to get coming home lights to work, I want it so they come on when either take out key or open the door.  If anyone here knows coding let me know please.

Thanks, would be much appreciated.

If it's in for first MOT then I guess it is coming up to 3 years old (2009).... I'll have a look and let you know if I can find anything  :wink:

My brother commented that there was wind noise coming from the drivers door when he was driving my car. I told him I had never noiced it. I still don't. However, he is a lot taller than me. So maybe I should get him to check it again :undecided:

Though I doubt if he could hear anything over the noise from the OEM tyres :angry: I can't even hear my fiancee talking. Which is a mixed blessing. :lipsrsealed: "You're not listening to me!", "Eh? Speak up!" I guess this is what it will be like in 20-30 years anyway. :embarassed:
