Buzzing from around fuse box area
« on: 24 April 2012, 14:15 »
Afternoon All

As title, when the car is sat ticking over no noise, rev/drive the car  and the sound goes up and down with the revs, a bit like when u have radio interference and it buzzes through the radio, please note the radio was off when this occurred, unusual one for me this..

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Have you had a rummage around the fuse box for anything loose?  And check the scuttle for anything loose?

No mate not had chance, got to Wetherby race course to come home and noticed it as I was driving out, scared me a bit as I had 60 mile journey ahead, but got home fine, I reset the MFA last night via the fuse so I may have caught something, will check, knocked out 33.4 MPG in the 120 round trip, was quite happy at that :grin:

Thom, the oil buzzer is a much higher tone than this, and I checked the oil last before the 120 mile journey this morning, the tone goes up and down as you accelerate/ decelerate if you know what I mean?
