Does it whine as soon as you put it in reverse, or only once you start moving?

If the latter, it could be universal joints (cheaper). Our old pick-up did that.

Only when I start moving... ::)

Don't you roll your eyes at me young lady.

That was a genuine and (uncharacteristically) serious suggestion.

The lady would show sympathy for the car, not derision.

She probably has a pet name for it and a photograph in her purse.

Went out to Holly today reversed out the drive. No whining noise Yeees  Thumbs:  I thought perhaps because I had given her a name she was happy and playing nicely... Thumbs:
I stopped in Tesco spoke to my lovely friend on the phone. Did some shopping and then went hospital visiting. Coming out the carpark I noticed it had started again this time going forward.. noooo:
I have had a day off today so not been able to get any of the fitters to look at it...
I am wondering if I just never heard the noise going forward due to playing music at a seriously high level..  rubschin:

You haven't by some chance, locked someone in the boot? Or collected a stray feline?

That would account for the "come and go" aspect of the "whine" . . .
