Yesterday, after a round trip of about 60 miles at speeds between 50/60MPH, on stopping outside a shop with the engine idling, I could hear a rhythmic puffing noise (actually more like a farting type sound) coming from the front offside. Occurred regularly every 15/20 seconds and could be heard inside and outside the car and I could feel a very slight vibration through the selector lever when the noise occurred.

No dash warnings, lights or anything else and no dip in the level of the car (thinking air suspension). Drove home, switched off and on restarting, all's ok. Checked all I could see and found DSC fluid level low and topped it up and nothing else obvious found.

Suspected it may be connected to air con so switched it off and noise still present. Air con appears working fine as it was blasting cold air out before and after.

Started car and left it idling for a while and no noise.

Drove round town today, stopped at home, no noise, and then later a 30 mile journey and on stopping car after the 30 mile journey, could hear the noise again, nothing at start of the journey.

As I say, no dash warnings, warning lights, adverse handling and I'm still getting the same fuel consumption. Car is level with no drop at any corner.

Thanks in advance and any ideas?? Cheers

You have been giving it the beans too much. I find this tends to give a farting sound.
I am sorry this reply is no use at all

Shall be down if Rockcliffe on Monday morning, if you need a 2nd pair of ears

Beans I like that.

Mikey, thanks, may well take you up on that but annoyingly, it's stopped today which doesn't help in diagnosing it. If it comes back I'll give you a shout and certainly take you up on your offer.
Cheers and thanks very much.  Cheers
