Hi Guys
I have recently purchased a Bentley GTC. It is a good straight no stories car, 2007 with 28,000. It runs as you would expect and I am pleased with it. There is a "but", my wife is on my case about a "noise" that appears to come from the dashboard area (passenger side) that she informs me sounds like a "wirring noise".
To be frank I cannot hear it whilst driving and can bearly hear it whilst she is driving.
My local Bentley specialist (whilst very good) is reluctant to get involved (he reasons that I could end up spending a fortune and still not getting to the bottom of it), (fair comment!).
Anybody been down this road before?
Many Thanks, John.

Hello Welsh bently boy
Thank you for your reply, it is nice to see that your cars previous owner had standards. I am unsure if I want to look in my air vents as these new continentals have a bit of a chav image, it may me a receipt from sports direct!
I also run a 1995 continental, it is not an "r" but a "s" model. It depends who you speak to but most people believe that they only made 18 (in the 1995 model year only).
Regards John

Hi guys
Many thanks for all of your suggestions. I shall look (and listen) carefully to all of these points. My local specialist (Herne Motors) as mentioned is very helpfull but is worried that if he starts running up a bill for work it would no doubt be costly and with no guarantee of success. He did mention ( I had his arm up his back at the time!) that iF we were to start looking perhaps it is something like a sticking heater control, it sounds like something is trying to "start" ( like a small motor or something).
One of you chaps asked for a photo of my continental S (1995 model). I have taken a couple of snaps on my iPad. Could somebody please post an idiots guide how I now upload it to here.
Regards John.

HI BLUEBOTTLE 911
MANY THANKS FOR THIS THOUGHT. THIS SOUNDS MORE LIKE IT. THE NOISE DOES INDEED COME AND GO EVERY FEW SECONDS.
NOW I AM WONDERING IF "THEY ALL DO THIS SIR" OR IF I HAVE A PARTICULARLY NOISY UNIT.
iT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE NOW ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
