Hi all,

noticed this a couple of days ago. If i'm moving at a low speed ie..under 20mph I get a strange whirring noise from the engine, kind of sounds like what the new minis sound like...kind of eletric noise...does that make sense?

I will listen out again and post specifically when it does it. But has anyone had anything similar?

I had a strange whistling noise coming from underneath my car, decided to book it in to get it seen to along with a few minor squeaks (clutch pedal) and pass/door.

Clutch pedal de-squeaked, new spring put in, this is seperate to the recall notice.

And, the whistling from underneath was actually a defective anti-freeze hoze, there is a TSB from Ford on this. Apparently it is quite common.

All problems fixed!!
