The noise started after picking the car up from it's last service (3 weeks ago). When the A/C is turned off (OFF button), I can hear what sounds like someone firing a cap gun. The sound is not as distinctive when I am standing outside the car, but it's there and it's annoying.

Lexus think it's a big job that will require removing the ducting etc., but I reckon it could be something easy to find. I can see that the compressor in the engine bay is making the usual noises and is not responsible. What else could it be?

thanks

I know that when the same thing happened to my soarer it was the compressor that needed replacing...

Good luck with it.

Cheers
