Hi all, my SV with Duratec motor has developed a weird buzzing noise that stems from dashboard area @ 2500 rpm. Seems more prevalent under load than when revving in neutral. Gear lever doesn't buzz and it's above that area of the car. Like a television not tuned in which is a strange description I know. Being looked at under warranty but I wondered if any others have experienced this phenomenon ? Thanks smile

I've had a similar thing which was the internals of the wiper motor drive tube which were dry and would vibrate. Reaching under the dash and holding it was enough to stop/reduce the noise then gave it a good greasing to sort it out.

Thanks so much Ivan, when Caterham investigated again they discovered loose relay/switches. I'll bear your experience in mind should I have any recurrence smile Paul
