any ideas please? thanks in advance

Can't help; in mine the tyre noise and banging of the sports pack suspension covers up all other noises! Probably a bit like an Apollo capsule re-entering the atmosphere.

I had a rare chance to "stretch the legs" of my V8V last week and noticed a strong wind noise from the passenger door area that came on quite suddenly above a certain speed (which I won't mention here)

The driver's side had no wind noise, so I reckon it's door-specific, which in turn means it's probably vents or seal-related

My first test will be to adjust the door striker plate to pull the door in very slightly, but the problem is that testing whether it's had any effect isn't easy and requires a decent stretch of empty road.

The fact that it came on very suddenly (rather than getting gradually louder as speed rose) means, erm, I'm not sure what it means, but I'll work it out....

On my volante the rear side window went out of alignment, stopped it sealing properly
