Ok, along with all the other bits and bobs that have gone wrong on my car in the last few months I now have a fault that is very worrying.
On the M40 today I noticed a whine from the front. The pitch of the whine is definately road-speed related, not engine speed. It becomes noticable at a low pitch at around 30 and increases in pitch as the roadspeed increases.
Its like humming a constant note (yes it's that annoying ), it's not a high pitch squeel, definately a whine.
The pitch is the same in all gears 60mph 4th,5th,6th etc.
It's the same pitch if I engage the clutch and pop it out of gear and let the engine revs drop off at this speed so it's definately not engine or turbo.
It doesn't sound like a wheel bearing to me but i jacked up the front to see if it was a bearing but both left and right front wheels seem fine, no play and no obvious noise when spinned up
Cheers
