So then I thought maybe the windscreen wipers have some affect on that side, but noise always there even when they are moving. It could perhaps be coming from the passengher air vent behind the dash (hard to work out exactly where) so I shut off the air intake but noise still there.

I can't work out if this has always been there or if something has happened when the car was in the garage, I've had the bonnet up and everything - it all looks fine.

Does anyone else get a wind-whistling sound from just the left wing mirror at high speed?
With the wipers in use, I get a whistling noise from the drivers wiper, when driving in strong, cross winds (left to right).

Confused me at first, as this did not happen with the two XC90's that I owned.
