Wind whistles???

My landy seems to whistle when im doing about 40ish and the whistling gets louder the faster i go. It sounds like its air coming through but there are no holes (honest).

The windscreen seal is a bit perished and it has been converted from a pick up to a sw by a previous owner.

Anybody else have any similar issues??? or is it just landy "character" whistling to let me know its happy / keep me company.

Have you got a roof rack ? as they whistle sometimes

i took it off to see but it made no difference. i do have the older style roof ie not flat/smooth

Sure it's not just the turbo? They can make a whistling sound, although I struggle to hear mine over the engine

Badly fitting doors a common problem.

Definately not the turbo no. The doors are ok compared to some anyway.

I was thinking there was a seal under the windscreen maybe???

I have never made it to 40 MPH in mine and if I did then I would have blood pooring out my ears anyway from the engine noise!!

Put a lot of sound proofing in but gave up in the end as its still a noisey wh**re of a thing.

The whistle is worse than the engine drone though.

I have done over 70 in it briefly but with all the noises i feel safer at 60!

Vent flaps in the bulkhead?

As Above, Try sealing them up temp. with gaffer tape and take for a spin otherwise get a passenger in there with you to try and locate it.( that should keep you busy for a few months)

Maybe...

Just changed the vent flap seals and it has made the world of difference!

Doors seals aren't too bad but there is a few gaps at the bottom so i might change them later but for now im chuffed with the peace!

Cheers for the advice!

Can you hear the sweet purr of the engine now??

Yeah i can still hear it, but with the sound proofing i no longer need ear plugs! The tinitus from the wind was a nightmare!

Haha mike i had my offshore medical refesher on thursday - catagory 2 hearing loss in left ear - never occured itd be from driving my landy Good to hear yu winnae be in same boat !
