Esteemed gents.
Acquaintance arrived today. Caught me unawares.
9 yr old w221 with 30k miles, owned from new.
Against my advice, its going in to main dealer for a service.
"funny noise - can hear inside and out".
Expecting the worst I got him to pop the bonnet.
Narrowed down the noise to emanating from under a black cover at rear o/side of the engine bay. Noise still there with engine off, ignition on.
Best I can describe it is like dry bearings on a motor/electric fan, or like a noisy hard drive!!! I did once have a car with a noisy heater fan that sounded like it, and was as intermittent.
Stuck a vid on photobucket, you might need to turn the sound up to hear over Mr Noisy walking on my gravel while I filmed....:-

I couldn't investigate more as only got one working arm at the mo !!!!!
Any thoughts? Thanks
