Hi, everytime I turn the ignition on now there is a knocking noise coming from behind the glovebox on the passenger side. Only happens for 10/15 seconds then stops again. Has anyone came across this before and if so how did you get it fixed?
Cheers

Yeah mate it was something to do with the air recirculation motor for the air con. Mechanics quoted me scary money for a fix as it would have involved removing the dashboard and air bag to get at the motor. So in the end I just unplugged the connector to stop the motor from working and the clicking stopped 😁. No lights on dash and the mechanics ran diagnostic and they got no error codes so I was happy enough. Car was sold a couple months after
