The 406 I test drove earlier had a very slight noise as it (presumably) came
on and off boost at small throttle openings and low revs - sounded sort of
like a muted wiper motor. Any ideas?

It's been a case of waiting until it's reasonably near to me actually
needing the thing to buy one. No point buying one and having money fall off
it whilst it sits in the yard.
