I have a farting noise that seems to come from over near the glovebox area. ISTR that there is a fix for it but can't be bothered to do a search quite honestly. It had something to do with a valve and some plastic linkage or something Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills

Completely normal & called the "D3 Fart".
something to do with fluff & dust and grease in the system getting stuck in a valve, I believe.
No smell to my knowledge unless of course you know different.

An actuator in the air con causes this it was a fault in earlier models. Dash out job I am afraid. Just blame the leather seats. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

A squeak/squeal noise is heard a few seconds after pressing the recirculation button on the control panel, it can also be heard when the recirculation feature operates automatically.
Cause: Due to dust contamination of the lubricating grease, the noise is generated by the movement between the two resin linkages, between the recirculation blend door actuator and motor. Suggested Customer Concern Code - C20.
NOTE: In normal circumstances a modified actuator rod (JEH 500020 and JEH 500010) will need to be installed. Should the need arise to replace the recirculation blend door actuator (JNC 500050 and JNC 500040) then the new actuator rod will already be installed, and must only be fitted if a new recirculation blend door actuator is required
