The sound of flowing water behind dash lol

Is that normal? sounds like a tap running just behind the heater controls etc when engine is warm. Also the more you rev it the faster it goes! Theres no loss of water, not overheating etc etc perhaps theres air in water system maybe?

The water entered from the top ,where the air enters in your car...inside there's the fan.

Fan's on the other side on RHD, Carl (as you've probably already discovered. Make sure the drains in the scuttle below the windscreen are clear.

I drive a 460, and I have the exact same thing. But I broke my airing valve and had to seal it, so if it's just air, I can't get it out.
But it sounds like a water tap in there.. Cooling is fine, no leaks, nice temperature, heater matrix works. Don't think you need to worry.
