2) When the air conditioning is on, there is a rhythmic "chirp" sound coming from under the dashboard on the drivers side.

I did have a search for these before but couldn't find an exact match.

Having not owned a Volvo before I was wondering if either sound normal for this car or if anyone else has experienced either before?

Thanks!
Haven't noticed any strange noises when the air conn is on. Ours is the same age but automatic, so no changing into first. However, we have a very different engine. You sure it is not the D2 engine you are hearing? How many miles has the car done?
