Oh yeah, also noticed on the run up to Solihull that there's a groan/low buzz that disappears if you steer right.

That'll be an offside wheel bearing, then  :'(

Not from the back of the car, was it?

Hard to tell but that's my guess..
White 3.2, an afternoon swapping the interior, wheel bearing issue solved :y


How ???

Noticed the ac isn't working.

Gets sort of cold eventually.

Open bonnet. Pump spinning. But ac pipes are not cold in the engine bay with no condensation on them. Doh!
