Journeying home, i started hearing a ridiculously whiny noise, i thought it may have been gav(madcatsminis) behind me at first, but when i rolled my windows up it got louder, now it doesnt matter what gear im in or neutral, and whether or not the clutch is depressed, but the noise seems to follow the revs, and it sounds like its coming from the drivers side. My clutch was slipping like a shit on the last run down the quarter but the lights buggered up so it didnt matter anyway. But any suggestions on what to start looking at?

Idler or primary gear would be a good place to start looking. |

If its screeching if the clutch is in or out, then it;s unlikely to be transfer gears. Perhaps your water pump or alternator bearings are giving up?

Dampers were great, its like driving a different car. It doesnt happen in neutral at idle, but if you leave it in neutral and rev you can hear it, and its far worse of a noise when under load. My alternator and waterpump are practically brand new so it isnt those On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Collapsed first motion bearing in the gear box. We broke the one in the van last year at Avon. the S/c drops disguised the noise.

Thats what i thought, but why would the drops be making that noise? Im not going to be using the car until ive sorted it anyway. Going to start by sorting the clutch because it needs doing anyway, then check and probably replace the drops for the spare ones i have, if that doesnt cure it it'll have to be a gearbox off job :( On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:
