That's it i'm not going to be stripping everything out to find this buzzing noise whatever it is, I'll just have to live with it or sell it which seems a tad daft to sell just because of this little noise now and again.

This is probably unrelated but the main beam blue dash light doesn't work any more  probably the bulb, Just encase is these a fuse for the bulbs in the dash ?

Nope

Dash out job then, If i remember correctly there's only 3 screws holding the dash speedometer instrument panel.. What sort of bulbs are they ? ..will buy a few on eBay/Amazon wherever has them.

any local motor parts store should have the bulbs mate

I Think I've Finally Found Out What's Causing This Annoying Buzzing / Vibrating Type Sound... The x2 Plastic Centre Air Vents.. Will Swap The Ones From The 2.2 To See and Make Sure  I Hope I'm Correct... I Made a Little Video of The Buzzing Sound Should Have Made One Sooner...

Pop the pollen filter out and liberally apply some 3-in-One oil to the spindle of the heater fan. That's it, job done

I'm not sure if that's the problem but no harm in giving that a go also, When driving along when the buzzing starts I put some pressur with my hands on the 2 air vents above the radio and the buzzing stopped.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Swapped the air vents from the 2.2 to the 3.2 and there is a noise present when shaking them but the ones on the 2.2 are silent.. Will have a run later on and see if this cures the problem 

[05omegav6]

If the 3.2 ones have been removed often enough to break them, it makes me wonder why

See how you get on

Aye it's odd but its high mileage maybe just ware and tare  , Nothing broken just a slight lose sound but they probably have been removed before engine management bulb isn't lighting up 9along with main beam bulb) they could have just fused but doubt it, pedal codes came up with CAT codes... Will update later on if this air vent swap cures the noise

Mines done twice the mileage of yours and the vents don't rattle...

Could just be one of those things, a bad batch maybe or rough owners in past 

Has yours done 376,000 then if double my 188,000  ..thought one of yours was around 245,000

[05omegav6]

My bad yours has been busier than I thought
