well all seems good except for a few minor things (for £500 there are always going to be problems, but thats half the fun !)


The first is it makes a very odd noise when the ignition is on, it sounds like a fan or something simular, but quite loud. the noise seems to be coming form behind the glove box. (the noise is also present and auidble when the engine is on)

Before i start digging aound in there is this normal ?
any ideas whats located behind the glove box?


The second issue is hopefully minor/less urgent......

the rear suspension makes a very slight knocking noise its not a big clonk but is not slilent over the bumps... suggestions of things i can check or general advice is very welcome.

thanks all

Matt
Have you tried a forum search? The archive has a wealth of information.

Welcome, to take advantage of all the forum features, please re visit the 'Welcome to the Forum' tutorial sticky on top of the W126 page, as well as the two DIY stickies.
It will show how to search the forum (3 words min.), and has a link to the Russian MB site where you can run a VIN#.
Cheers
