welcome mate,not sure about the whine,is it at low speed or high speed?

also check the jack points,bootlid,and under the trimming on the wheel arches for rust.

Thanks for the welcome gang!
Ive checked everything on the car and it is sound! apart from the whine in reverse! it just seems louder than other cars ive had and looked at (none of them being a mk3) so im not sure about it? any advice more than welcome.
many thanks again Graham
