i have a very strange noise that has anoyed my for some months and has defied any attempt to find it here are the facts.
1) it sound a cross between a bearing that is orbiting in its socket and a demented steam whistle.
2) it occure under accelleration but not when the engine is up to running temperature.
3) once it starts the only way to stop it is to slow down to almost a stop, while slowing down the noise sounds the same as in the note does not change until just before it stops.
4) changing gears does not change it.
5) reving up with clutch in or out does not change it.
6) dropping the clutch does not change it.
7) breaking does not change it.
8) staying at the same speed or accelerating more does not change it.
9) It is hard to tell where it is coming from but sound to be towards the frount of the engine but i could be wrong.
10) things i have renewedon the way to trying to find this noise are, timing belts and pulleys, water pump, top end strip and rebuild. rear wheel had orbiting bearings but was fixed with shims and was still OK when i checked last week. universal joints are not loose. frount wheel does not have any play.
any idea's any one? all suggestions greatfully recieved.
