Just bought an 11 plate X1 xdrive 2.0d, with 87k on the clock. Short test drive around town , seemed to be OK. Mrs Mondeoman picked it up today and complained about some noise. Took it out myself tonight and sure enough the front end is whining like a bh, worse on deceleration, but definitely not nice.

Had a quick Google and can't find too much about it being common, just wondered if anyone else had experience of anything similar. Be a shame to reject the car, but its needed for business, can't afford to have it off the road (nor an expensive repair).

Car itself is straight and clean, I'd guess at front different or wheel bearing. Dealer has agreed for it to be inspected locally, see what happens when I can get that organised.
