Rattle in dash when heater is on!
As the title really, I get a constant rattle in my dash when the heaters are on warm and my speed is over about 30mph. It doesn't happen when set to cold!
Any ideas as it's pretty frustrating?!

I had some dried leaves on top of the cabin filter in the glove box which made alot of noise at times. Had no idea what it was until I changed the filter and saw the leaves.

I have changed my pollen filter, it was dirty but I've definitely seen worse!
It's inside the dash but only when the heater is on. Here's a video I took today with the phone held at the front of the dash!
Hell Ben that's is a strange noise It sounds like either the fan bearings have gone and its not centric or there is something in the way of the fan and its catching on it..

It is driving me insane, as you can imagine!
The problem is that I don't know where to start looking to locate it
Does the rattle change as you turn the fan speed up and down??
Try directing the air using the buttons on the left and opening and closing different air vents.....might help to determine which way to look.... ------------------------------

It seems to rattle more on cold than it does when set to hot. I've not tried adjusting the air direction, I usually just press auto and leave it do it's thing! I guess without selecting a specific air direction it just blows it out of wherever is open?!
The noise to me sounds in the centre of the dash at the very front by the windscreen.
I shall play around with it a bit more when I get a chance
