MOT Passed - now to locate the whine

So as Rob said she would, she passed the MoT today with only two minors (one being slightly corroded brake pipes, but the tester said actually it was one of the connectors rather than the pipes, and the other being the standard not too brilliant handbrake on the near side which is quite a bit lower than on the off side).

Still loving driving her about but come across a new noise recently, when she's warmed up and I've been driving at pace (not illegal pace but not hanging about pace either) if I slow down and drop her down a cog or two there is a whining noise coming from the front - goes away if the clutch is depressed and only does it in motion - i.e. if I let the clutch out again when she's stationary and not in gear no noise so I don't think the whine is from the engine or the clutch and the whine goes away as I speed up and move up through the gears. Definitely coming from the front rather than the gearbox. Any suggestions? (apologies for the not so great description).

"MOT Passed - now to locate the whine"

mine is usually in the cellar......is that an 'urban' spelling?

Lol, clever sod and does show you only think bout alcohol.
Very good news on the not, now just to enjoy it
P.S. Just delete the first five words bout rob being right!!

Torque Tube over run. Needs the bearings done.

Is that a big job? Anything else I should be thinking of maintenance wise at the same time? Appreciate all the feedback, cheers guys!

Go here use the index (Garage Shop Manual) and go to Torque Tube. Very useful info.

i usually leave the "whine" at home watching the kids

You sure its not the clutch? would be very, very surprised if its the TT only every come across 2 in 7 years that were really at fault
