no chance you've got the bluetooth audio on but the volume turned right down is there ? i get feedback off it when I'm not playing anything as the engine revs rise aha :rolleyes:

Nope, no Bluetooth installed, I'm struggling to isolate anything in particular that brings it on. Definitely sounds mechanical vs audio.

Is this another clutch assembly fault?!?! There are a few thread on it, and whining sound seems to correlate...

If it's a manual then I am pretty sure the reverse gear doesn't have a synchro so can whine whilst in motion
