Whining noise.

Post by Crippin »

Just jumped back into my car and noticed it's started whining when revving both in gear and in neutral.
Am I rite in thinking that it's probs going to be the gearbox?? :|

What is the milage of the car?

If it does it in neutral I am positive it wont be the gearbox it is more than likely the alternator I had exactly the same thing at 80,000 miles new alternator and no more whining!

I posted a youtube video of the sound so have a look on my channel its "mudcred"

Cheers

Thanks a lot buddy.

Do you happen to still know the part number please?

Cars done 63k and been 240bhp for around 7k if that would make any difference to expected lifetime?
