    There is fresh air coming through from the hole in the plenum behind the bonnet in the cavity where the wiper motor is. I think this will cut it. This is also where the heater will draw air from. I still have the factory plastic shroud that goes inside the plenum to cover it from the elements...

    Drive shaft lateral movement

    Thanks for the replies. I replaced the drive shaft anyway but it wasn't the cause of the noise in the OP. It is either the diff or the transmission. I lost all drive coasting down a hill (went to overtake) and got nothing but a grinding clunking noise. I have left it on the side of the road...
