Evening,
Been using the car all day, was picking the Mrs up from the Trafford and was doing around 80 mph on the way back and the Mrs commented on how the car sounded like we were in a jetliner in mid air as it was making a slight humming. As usual I just ignored her however when I got off the motorway the car was making an horrendous droaning / humming noise, its coming from the front and is most prevalent around 2,000 - 3,000 rpm.
I've just been back out in it whilst the engines cold. The noise is still there and appears past 10mph onwards... I haven't been able to go much past 30 because of the snow but the noise increases with the speed. I have revved the engine whilst stationary and the noise isn't there, so I'm thinking its to do with the running gear.. tyres, bearing or gearbox? Does anyone have any ideas?
