Guys. I'm new to the forum and new to owning a 3rd gen 3.0TD Surf and have a question I'm hoping you could help with.
When the car is in drive ie. in gear, clutch engaged, regardless of gear (it's a manual, by the way) there is a fairly noticeable whistling type noise coming from the forward nearside corner of the car. I can't tell if it's coming from inside the cabin or from the engine bay (or other) - just the general area. It doesn't vary with engine or road speed and remains fairly constant in pitch and volume. It's also more of an "ooooh" sound (as in Typhoo). If I dip the clutch the sound goes away.
I'm no mechanic, by any means, but it'd be nice to know where to possibly point the mechanic when I get him to investigate (hopefully without appearing to be a know-it-all!). Any advice from your good selves is gratefully received!
