jbenekeor back me up, they think I've got the heebie geebies ;)

:p Yep I've got your back!

We've got the freelander now and it does seem to do it. It's a manual, just for the record.

I've already stopped noticing it :) you barely hear it from inside. It comes from the passenger side wheel arch if it's the same noise we're both on about!
 
FBH sits in the passenger wheel arch...I don't have a FBH [emoji25] so don't know what one would sound like.

On a manual it could be the DMF but this would be varied when the noise occurs.

Could it be the damper pully?

You need to record the noise and post it up.

If that's the front NS arch then that could be the FBH.
Fuel pump is in rear OS wheel arch.
 
Now then. Could well be that I am a complete horses ass, as usual.
With a friend and closer inspection it seems the noise is coming from NS wing area which would indicate FBH :doh:
Now in my defense I was thinking of the noise (vaccum cleaner) FBH makes when you switch off.
Sooo, do you think that's it, does the FBH make a noise like that when it fires up.
All ridicule and abuse for being a possible dumb ass accepted. :rolleyes:

does the fbh have a fuse , if so can u pull it to eliminate the fbh ??
 
Here is a video of my mum's Freelander this morning on a cold start. It's just the FBH isn't it? (Now that I know what a FBH is!)

It made this noise about 30 seconds after start up and went away just after the video finished. It seems to be the FBH.
