Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any idea what my strange noise might
be. It sounds like a power steering pump that has run very low on fluid but
it seems to be coming from underneath the car around the gearbox area.
The car is an auto and drives as normal. The noise is most loudest at about
600rpm and disappears when you increase the revs. Its there when you drive
or if you are parked.

Many thanks.....Simon.

Low fluid in the transmission?

Is it fitted with ACE?

Could be low fluid or more likely signs of a knackered pump.

Or the long steel pipes resonating along the chassis

Hi Marc, I have now got a manual and I will investigate what you have
suggested.
Many thanks....Simon.
