Incessant whine

[davegrimmett]

Mine has developed a noticeable fairly high pitched whine that is really beginning to irritate when the roof's down.

My specialist garage reckons it's normal, but I'm not convinced. Is there anything I could check to try and reduce the volume of this whine? I just want to hear the engine!!!!

Any similar stories?

Thanks,
Dave

How is your power steering fluid level...?

Try putting your head in the engine bay while someone gently turns the wheel with the engine running but the car stationary... if the whine gets worse then it is probably power steering related.

Head in engine bay with roof down not a good idea.

Easier to drop of the wife / gf

Lol

Cheers 977, Max and Targa,
will check out over the next few days and hopefully it can be reduced.

Cheers comedians too. Did set that one up a treat!!

Mine turned out to be alternator bearings
