Hi just wondering if anyone could shed some light on a little problem that's arisen lately with my 03 plate mini cooper. Regardless of the gear or if i'm in neutral there is a low drone sound thats sounds like its coming from the engine (i think) between 35 - 60mph. Any help appreciated

Do you have run flat tyres?, I had Ditchfinder Dunlop runflats all round on my Mcs, they are awful not to mention very noisy, sounds like a wheel bearing on its way out, Put quality Non runflats all round and the difference is like night and day. Just my thoughts

Cheers I'll check the tyres out. I don't think they are runflats it's the tyres that came on the pepperpot wheels. Hopefully that's what itis I was thinking it maybe engine related.
