Yes, I have this but it goes once the car is warmed up.

Earlier in the year I took the dash binnacle off and drove for a couple of days checking things as I drove round my estate but nothing. I then moved to the foot well and taped any loose cables, padded anything that could vibrate, tightened the pedal box nuts etc but still couldn't find the vibration. GRRRR...

Recently something has come loose under the dash so I am going to take the dash off and try to get to the bottom of it.

It's hard to pinpoint where the noise is actually coming from, where do you think yours is from?

On mine it only vibrates when the car is moving not stationary. Having the heater on or off makes no difference, if that's the fan you are talking about.

I thought there was a little fan to cool the binnacle and this is the buzzing noise some people hear on T cars?

That's a new one on me. Not sure where it would be located.

I've no direct idea, I just seem to recall some posts refering to it. May have got the wrong end of the stick.

I'm experiencing the same. Seems to have gotten worse lately. I'm not sure where it comes from. Might be from the engine compartment? It's worse (or you can hear it better) when stationary. Very annoying.

Yes mine makes a noise as soon as the power is on. It's slightly annoying but cant be heard above the radio.
