whining on start up and axceleration

[Ozmira]

I've noticed a whining noise when i start the car from cold. after a couple of minutes when the engine is warm the noise seems to go away but while I'm accelerating i can still hear it. its sounds like something is rubbing up against something but I've had a look and cant seem to find what it could be. also I've got a weird thudding when i reverse coming from the drivers side. its almost like a flat spot on the wheel but as the car gets used every day it cant be that. so I'm stumped.

Ask the wife to get out

At a guess I would say water pump / alternator / PAS pump if you have one. Not sure about your other problem.

Maybe engine mount going and pulley rubbing on swirlpot etc. etc.
