Yeah this is going to be easy

Sometimes not always, it makes a noise.. er.. my friend said it sounds like a piston releasing or something ?

Like a low wine..(SP)

Cant figure out where its actually coming from though was doing it at idle yesterday but stopped after a while.

Cars is acting normal

 

is it like a touring car noise? if so could be the power steering pump. Check the fluid level

 

yeah he actually suggested that, but I've not had the chance to look and its dark now. Will check first thing tomorrow, what am I looking for ? I mean is there some kind of level marking or something?

there is a level but you may be surprised to find it near max, I know I did on mine. I had the same problem not so long ago, thought my gearbox was on the way out. Got advised to check the power steering as some seals can leak a bit. BAsically I just bought some fluid and just topped it up. Was surprised how much it took. Actually found a slight leak when I changed my downpipe just not got round to tracking it to its source and fixing it yet. Job for christmas I think when I get bored of the rellies.
Iirc the dipstick is actually on the lid itself, you will see what I mean when you remove it.

 

cheers mate

 

ok mate I'm confused, it looks fine, up to the level and the noise unless I've missed it hasn't happened for a day or so ?
