"Flooded it mate?"

G'day everyone,
This is not really a thread to solve a problem, because as far as I know it isn't (certainly hasn't been one, nor have we ever been told it is), but I was wondering if anyone would know what it actually is. As far as I used to think it was pretty normal for AUs, but then I haven't experienced many. Skip, ever since my parents first bought him, has always had a very distinct whistle from the engine. It's particularly noticeable at low speeds and low revs, and not so at cruising speeds. It raises and lowers pitch when revved. Camera microphones exaggerate it too, barely hearing anything other than the whistle. I'm not actually bothered by it, but I am interested to know what it might be? Any thoughts? Cheers |

Hey there, just so you know we have the same problem in our series 1 lane, however the sound in ours comes and goes, as in it seems to only have a couple of times a fortnight

Could be the same one, not sure though. Mine has never, ever gone away in the ten years Skip's been with us.
I might try uploading a video to demonstrate the sound later. |

Guess I'll have to organise a video anyway, since it seems no-one has any idea!

Oh, I wish! I wish! That'd be a nice bit of extra fuel economy.
I'll try and get a video up sometime, should help a lot. |
