Yes, bearings.... Mine is the same on cold days if I haven't driven it anywhere. Run it on full for a bit then turn it down and it should be OK.

Open bonnet, remove plastic cover from behind bulkhead bit (Where the wiper link arm is), spray some WD40 on to the bearings of the fan blower, jobs done.

or u cud replace the heater motor (dependin which one it is) ?10 from scrap yard, fairly easy to fit if u got a haynes manual.

ok thanks guys, ill try the wd40 first :wink:

[m.d.]

thank god someone asked this mine has been doing the same for a year now. lol

Mine started doing it about 3 days ago, only when i first turn it on and its on 1 and then when i turn it off.

I'll try the WD40 too :) Although last time i WD40d the heater i was getting gassed everytime i turn it on for a day or 2. Good fun tho :lol:
