Haha, that was pretty funny

Back on subject. Does sound a bit like a wheel bearing, the faster you go the louder it gets. Where's it coming from? And what doubts you thinking it's not a wheel bearing?

When driving along, does putting the clutch down have any affect on the noise? This won't affect a wheel bearing.

I thought it was coming from the passenger front side now i dont think it is. When the clutch is down the noise stops, its at its loudest when accelerating and and then you can hear it going quiet when breaking

if it stops when you put your foot down on the clutch it could be the release bearing this was hat mine was i had the smae noise and i also found out that my 5th gear had worn away and i think 4ht aswell

Cheers for the help, my view is that its a bearing of some sort. Il run it down to the garage in the morning and see what they say

Release bearing whines when the clutch is down, not up.

That's what both of mine did anyway.

the noise might be coming from the gearbox maybe?
