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

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
