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?

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

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?
