MG5 LR Exclusive A/C fan noise

[Jomarkh]

Hi, I have had my SR Excite for four years and have now bought a LR Exclusive. The LR has full A/C so can't compare to my SR but the fan when on full makes quite a noise is this normal?

Depends how noisy it is . Can you post a video with audio ?

You can sense it with the radio on and if you turn the radio off you can hear like a droning sound, when on max if you reduce the speed goes away at half speed. I will try and record it later

I've made a video of mine but it will not upload to the forum Any advice accepted

Here's my video... mine would not upload either.

I have the solution for you....don't turn it up to max.

Thanks but turning up the radio works too

I have found a couple more differences that I would like comments on.
1 the front flap doesn't lock when the doors lock on the LR but it does on my SR.
2 there is a strange sound from somewhere near my right knee. It sounds like a relay click but more of a plastic sound click. It seems to happen as you pull away then again as you reduce speed?

Re your first statement above (the front flap): mine is locked when the car is locked. Or are you asking about what happens when the "automatic locking" happens when the car is moving? If so, I'm not sure (never "tested" it!)

My Exclusive would lock when the car's locked

Thanks.
Mine doesn't lock when the car locks.
